话题消息的定义与使用

1.定义msg文件

Person.msg:

string name
uint8 sex
uint8 age
uint8 unknown= 0
uint8 male = 1
uint8 female = 2

2.在package.xml中添加功能包依赖

<build_depend>message_generation</build_depend>
<exec_depend>message_runtime</exec_depend>

3.修改CatemakeList.txt
（1）添加包依赖

message_generation

（2）添加配置项

add_message_files(FILES Person.msg)
generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES std_msgs)

注意放置位置：

（3）创建运行依赖
添加
catkin_package(message_runtime)

4.工作空间下，catmake编译

结果：

5.publisher和sunscriber文件：
person_publisher.cpp：

/***********************************************************************
Copyright 2020 GuYueHome (www.guyuehome.com).
***********************************************************************/

/**
 * 该例程将发布/person_info话题，自定义消息类型learning_topic::Person
 */
 
#include <ros/ros.h>
#include "learning_topic/Person.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    // ROS节点初始化
    ros::init(argc, argv, "person_publisher");

    // 创建节点句柄
    ros::NodeHandle n;

    // 创建一个Publisher，发布名为/person_info的topic，消息类型为learning_topic::Person，队列长度10
    ros::Publisher person_info_pub = n.advertise<learning_topic::Person>("/person_info", 10);

    // 设置循环的频率
    ros::Rate loop_rate(1);

    int count = 0;
    while (ros::ok())
    {
        // 初始化learning_topic::Person类型的消息
    	learning_topic::Person person_msg;
		person_msg.name = "Tom";
		person_msg.age  = 18;
		person_msg.sex  = learning_topic::Person::male;

        // 发布消息
		person_info_pub.publish(person_msg);

       	ROS_INFO("Publish Person Info: name:%s  age:%d  sex:%d", 
				  person_msg.name.c_str(), person_msg.age, person_msg.sex);

        // 按照循环频率延时
        loop_rate.sleep();
    }

    return 0;
}

person_subscriber.cpp：

/***********************************************************************
Copyright 2020 GuYueHome (www.guyuehome.com).
***********************************************************************/

/**
 * 该例程将订阅/person_info话题，自定义消息类型learning_topic::Person
 */
 
#include <ros/ros.h>
#include "learning_topic/Person.h"

// 接收到订阅的消息后，会进入消息回调函数
void personInfoCallback(const learning_topic::Person::ConstPtr& msg)
{
    // 将接收到的消息打印出来
    ROS_INFO("Subcribe Person Info: name:%s  age:%d  sex:%d", 
			 msg->name.c_str(), msg->age, msg->sex);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    // 初始化ROS节点
    ros::init(argc, argv, "person_subscriber");

    // 创建节点句柄
    ros::NodeHandle n;

    // 创建一个Subscriber，订阅名为/person_info的topic，注册回调函数personInfoCallback
    ros::Subscriber person_info_sub = n.subscribe("/person_info", 10, personInfoCallback);

    // 循环等待回调函数
    ros::spin();

    return 0;
}

6.编写cmakelist.txt

将如下内容拷贝到CMakeList.txt中

add_executable(person_publisher src/person_publisher.cpp)
target_link_libraries(person_publisher ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(person_publisher ${PROJECT_NAME}_generate_messages_cpp)

add_executable(person_subscriber src/person_subscriber.cpp)
target_link_libraries(person_subscriber ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(person_subscriber ${PROJECT_NAME}_generate_messages_cpp)

7.编译
工作空间下catkin_make

8.运行
（1）runcore
（2）rosrun learning_topic person_subscriber
（3）rosrun learning_topic person_publisher
两者之间进行通信
