(1) msg

string name
uint8  sex
uint8  age

uint8 unknown = 0
uint8 male    = 1
uint8 female  = 2

2. set up env

(1) msg part

1. go to package.xml , add following

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

2. go to CMakeLists.txt, add following

   find_package( …… message_generation)
   
   add_message_files(FILES Person.msg)
   generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES std_msgs)
   
   catkin_package(…… message_runtime)

   

(2) C++

go to the CMakeLists.txt file, add these two command here

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)
