Example of ROS RGBD data publisher

Post by e2718 »

From the change log for V-REP V3.0.5 (October 27th 2013),
Added a ROS publisher for vision sensor depth data as RGBD point cloud, courtesy of Cedric Pradalier.
Has anybody used this publisher? I can't seem to find any examples of this and the Vrep API doesn't seem to have it (for vision sensors can get depth, or image but not both) and it doesn't seem to be any of the simExtRosInterface_* functions

Hello,

you are referring to the old Ros plugin, which shouldn't be used anymore. Make sure to use the new RosInterface. With the new interface you can basically use any type of message in a very similar way as you would do in a C/C++ application. Make sure to carefully inspect and try to understand the example scene rosInterfaceTopicPublisherAndSubscriber.ttt.

Cheers
