Beginner：Client libraries-6创建自定义的msg和srv文件

目标：定义自定义接口文件(.msg和.srv)，在c++节点和Python中使用他们。

背景

有时候需要定义自己的消息和服务。之前教程都是已经定义好的系统的消息类型，本教程介绍最简单的自定义接口定义的方法。

任务

1、创建一个包

ros2 pkg create --build-type ament_cmake tutorial_interfaces

2、创建自定义消息

2.1 msg定义

创建了两个文件Num.msg以及Sphere.msg

 

2.2 srv定义

创建文件AddThreeInts.srv

 

3. CMakeLists.txt

将自定义的类型转换为具体语言可识别的消息，在CMakeLists.txt中添加如下

find_package(geometry_msgs REQUIRED)
find_package(rosidl_default_generators REQUIRED)

rosidl_generate_interfaces(${PROJECT_NAME}
  "msg/Num.msg"
  "msg/Sphere.msg"
  "srv/AddThreeInts.srv"
  DEPENDENCIES geometry_msgs # Add packages that above messages depend on, in this case geometry_msgs for Sphere.msg
)

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.8)
project(tutorial_interfaces)

if(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX OR CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID MATCHES "Clang")
add_compile_options(-Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic)
endif()

# find dependencies
find_package(ament_cmake REQUIRED)
find_package(geometry_msgs REQUIRED)
find_package(rosidl_default_generators REQUIRED)
# uncomment the following section in order to fill in
# further dependencies manually.
# find_package(<dependency> REQUIRED)

rosidl_generate_interfaces(${PROJECT_NAME}
"msg/Num.msg"
"msg/Sphere.msg"
"srv/AddThreeInts.srv"

DEPENDENCIES geometry_msgs)

if(BUILD_TESTING)
find_package(ament_lint_auto REQUIRED)
# the following line skips the linter which checks for copyrights
# comment the line when a copyright and license is added to all source files
set(ament_cmake_copyright_FOUND TRUE)
# the following line skips cpplint (only works in a git repo)
# comment the line when this package is in a git repo and when
# a copyright and license is added to all source files
set(ament_cmake_cpplint_FOUND TRUE)
ament_lint_auto_find_test_dependencies()
endif()

ament_package()

注意：在rosidl_generate_interfaces中的第一个参数必须是${PROJECT_NAME}

 4、package.xml

因为定义的信息依赖于rosidl_default_generators用于生成制定的语言代码，需要声明编译工具依赖它。rosidl_default_runtime是运行时或者执行阶段的依赖，在之后使用消息时被需要。rosidl_interface_packages是你包的依赖组的名字。tutorial_interfaces应与关联，并使用<member_of_group>标记声明。

  <member_of_group>rosidl_interface_packages</member_of_group>
  <export>
    <build_type>ament_cmake</build_type>
  </export>
</package>

5、编译并运行

colcon build --packages-select tutorial_interfaces

检查是否有消息

ros2 interface show tutorial_interfaces/msg/Num

ros2 interface show tutorial_interfaces/msg/Sphere

ros2 interface show tutorial_interfaces/srv/AddThreeInts

 

6、测试自定义消息

6.1 用发布器和订阅器来测试Num.msg
