摘要: 刚刚开始学习ROS，打算入机器人的坑了，参考教材是《ROS及其人开发实践》胡春旭编著 机械工业出版社 华章科技出品。本来以为可以按照书上的步骤一步步来，但是，too young to simple啊，程序员的苦逼日子开始了，特地记录如下。
今天居然发现，不是linux没有安装成功，只是没有办法找到boot/efi下的引导文件，充分利用Manjaro • 18.1.0-rc6的u盘启动选项detect efi功能就可以实现U盘引导硬盘上的系统的功能了，也不错，居然还有这样操作哈哈。
一、创建并配置工作空间(workspace)
工作空间是存放工程开发相关文件的文件夹，现在较新版本的ROS默认使用catkin编译系统，该编译系统的空间比较特殊，所以需要特殊的方式创建。
1、创建工作空间
mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src #在home目录下创建两级目录，先创建catkin目录，再创建src目录，必须使用-p选项
cd ~/catkin_ws/src #切换到src目录
catkin_init_workspace #初始化工作空间
2、编译工作空间，此时工作空间为空，经过编译会生成很多文件，严格来说是迁移来很多文件
cd ~/catkin_ws/
catkin_make #catkin自己的编译命令
3、初始化环境变量，使环境变量生效
source devel/setup.bash #其实就是运行编译生成的devel目录下的setup.bash文件
4、验证环境变量是否有效
echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH #打印当前工作空间的路径，结果如下：，包括刚刚创建的工作空间的目录就对了，否则，要好好找找原因了。
municationk@developk:~/catkin_ws$ echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
/home/municationk/catkin_ws/src:/opt/ros/melodic/share
二、在工作空间创建功能包，ROS系统的实现主要靠功能包实现各个功能
功能包中包含了许多文件和配置信息及编译信息等，现在较新版本的ROS默认使用catkin编译系统，该编译系统对功能包要求比较特殊，所以需要特殊的方式创建。
1、创建功能包，应用catkin_create_pkg命令
cd ~/catkin_ws/src #切换到代码空间，也就是工作空间的src目录
catkin_create_pkg learning_com std_msgs rospy roscpp #创建功能包，并指定有三个功能包依赖
2、再次编译工作空间，并设置环境变量
cd ~/catkin_ws/
catkin_make #编译
source devel/setup.bash #设置环境变量
三、在工作空间创建功能包，实现一个简单的发布、订阅程序：主要是添加两个cpp源码talker.cpp和listener.cpp，修改一个编译配置文件CMakeList.txt，修改一个功能包配置文件package.xml文件
1、talker.cpp在工作空间的代码空间的功能包的代码空间中，本文中为：~/catkin_ws/src/learning_com/src/目录中，内容
1 /** 2 * 该例程将发布chatter话题，消息类型String 3 */ 4 5 #include <sstream> 6 #include "ros/ros.h" 7 #include "std_msgs/String.h" 8 9 int main(int argc, char **argv) 10 { 11 // ROS节点初始化 12 ros::init(argc, argv, "talker"); 13 14 // 创建节点句柄 15 ros::NodeHandle n; 16 17 // 创建一个Publisher，发布名为chatter的topic，消息类型为std_msgs::String 18 ros::Publisher chatter_pub = n.advertise<std_msgs::String>("chatter", 1000); 19 20 // 设置循环的频率 21 ros::Rate loop_rate(10); 22 23 int count = 0; 24 while (ros::ok()) 25 { 26 // 初始化std_msgs::String类型的消息 27 std_msgs::String msg; 28 std::stringstream ss; 29 ss << "hello world " << count; 30 msg.data = ss.str(); 31 32 // 发布消息 33 ROS_INFO("%s", msg.data.c_str()); 34 chatter_pub.publish(msg); 35 36 // 循环等待回调函数 37 ros::spinOnce(); 38 39 // 按照循环频率延时 40 loop_rate.sleep(); 41 ++count; 42 } 43 44 return 0; 45 }
2、listener.cpp在工作空间的代码空间的功能包的代码空间中，本文中为：~/catkin_ws/src/learning_com/src/目录中，内容
1 /** 2 * 该例程将订阅chatter话题，消息类型String 3 */ 4 5 #include "ros/ros.h" 6 #include "std_msgs/String.h" 7 8 // 接收到订阅的消息后，会进入消息回调函数 9 void chatterCallback(const std_msgs::String::ConstPtr& msg) 10 { 11 // 将接收到的消息打印出来 12 ROS_INFO("I heard: [%s]", msg->data.c_str()); 13 } 14 15 int main(int argc, char **argv) 16 { 17 // 初始化ROS节点 18 ros::init(argc, argv, "listener"); 19 20 // 创建节点句柄 21 ros::NodeHandle n; 22 23 // 创建一个Subscriber，订阅名为chatter的topic，注册回调函数chatterCallback 24 ros::Subscriber sub = n.subscribe("chatter", 1000, chatterCallback); 25 26 // 循环等待回调函数 27 ros::spin(); 28 29 return 0; 30 }
3、CMakeList.txt在工作空间的代码空间的功能包的代码空间中，本文中为：~/catkin_ws/src/learning_com/目录中，内容
1 cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3) 2 project(learning_com) 3 4 ## Compile as C++11, supported in ROS Kinetic and newer 5 # add_compile_options(-std=c++11) 6 7 ## Find catkin macros and libraries 8 ## if COMPONENTS list like find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS xyz) 9 ## is used, also find other catkin packages 10 find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS 11 roscpp 12 rospy 13 std_msgs 14 ) 15 16 ## Specify additional locations of header files 17 ## Your package locations should be listed before other locations 18 include_directories( 19 include 20 ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS} 21 ) 22 23 ## Declare a C++ library 24 # add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} 25 # src/${PROJECT_NAME}/learning_communication.cpp 26 # ) 27 28 add_executable(talker src/talker.cpp) 29 target_link_libraries(talker ${catkin_LIBRARIES}) 30 add_dependencies(talker ${PROJECT_NAME}_generate_messages_cpp) 31 32 add_executable(listener src/listener.cpp) 33 target_link_libraries(listener ${catkin_LIBRARIES}) 34 add_dependencies(talker ${PROJECT_NAME}_generate_messages_cpp) 35 36 ## Mark other files for installation (e.g. launch and bag files, etc.) 37 # install(FILES 38 # # myfile1 39 # # myfile2 40 # DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_SHARE_DESTINATION} 41 # ) 42 43 ############# 44 ## Testing ## 45 ############# 46 47 ## Add gtest based cpp test target and link libraries 48 # catkin_add_gtest(${PROJECT_NAME}-test test/test_learning_communication.cpp) 49 # if(TARGET ${PROJECT_NAME}-test) 50 # target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}-test ${PROJECT_NAME}) 51 # endif() 52 53 ## Add folders to be run by python nosetests 54 # catkin_add_nosetests(test) ~
实际的内容更多，只需要关注：1，2，10～14，18～21，28～34这些行就够了
4、package.xml在工作空间的代码空间的功能包的代码空间中，本文中为：~/catkin_ws/src/learning_com/目录中，内容
1 <?xml version="1.0"?> 2 <package format="2"> 3 <name>learning_com</name> 4 <version>0.0.0</version> 5 <description>The learning_communication package</description> 6 7 <maintainer email="municationk@todo.todo">municationk</maintainer> 8 9 <license>TODO</license> 10 11 <buildtool_depend>catkin</buildtool_depend> 12 <build_depend>roscpp</build_depend> 13 <build_depend>rospy</build_depend> 14 <build_depend>std_msgs</build_depend> 15 <build_export_depend>roscpp</build_export_depend> 16 <build_export_depend>rospy</build_export_depend> 17 <build_export_depend>std_msgs</build_export_depend> 18 <exec_depend>roscpp</exec_depend> 19 <exec_depend>rospy</exec_depend> 20 <exec_depend>std_msgs</exec_depend> 21 22 <export> 23 <!-- Other tools can request additional information be placed here --> 24 25 </export> 26 </package>
同上，内容比较多，有用就这些就够了。
5、编译功能包，并设置环境变量
cd ~/catkin_ws/
catkin_make #编译
source devel/setup.bash #设置环境变量
测试，打开三个终端，在第一终端输入：roscore，第二个终端输入：rosrun learning_com talker 第三个终端输入：rosrun learning_com listener
在第一终端输入：roscore，

第二个终端输入：rosrun learning_com talker

正好符合了通信中的，有发送才有接收，发送中断了，接受不到数据了，自然就停下了。ROS中的话题通信主要依赖roccore，因此，无论是先运行终端2或终端3都无所谓，但是，一定要先运行终端1的命令。
