Ros tutorial on SIGverse
-How to Use ROS with SIGverse
-User has to create A SIGverse node using the following code:
--In this tutorial two topics are used 
--Message Topic to send messages from SIGverse Node to Command Node and Velocity --format Topic to send the value of velocity to the SIGverse node.

&ref(Simple_Ros.PNG,,80%);


*The Topic [#ed1b8323]


-Let’s study this example step by step 
Now let’s create the callback function which preforms the command on the velocity of the robot’s wheels:


**Message Sender [#ed1b8136]

   void SendController::poseCallback(const Sigvers_Ros::VelocityConstPtr& vel)
   {     Wheel_one =  vel->linear;
         Wheel_two =  vel->angular;
      
         printf("Velocity 1!!!  %f\n", Wheel_one);
         printf("Velocity 2!!!  %f\n", Wheel_two);
      
   }

- read from the Velocity Topic
- Printing the Velocity value applied on the robot



**Node Initialization [#ed1b8137]

  void SendController::onInit(InitEvent &evt)
   { Wheel_one = 0.0;
    Wheel_two = 0.0;
    int argc =0;
    char** argv = NULL;
    my = this->getRobotObj(this->myname());
    my->setWheel(10.0, 10.0);
    ros::init(argc, argv, "Sigvers_controller_node");
    ros::NodeHandle n;
    velocity = 1;
    chatter_pub = n.advertise<std_msgs::String>("CommandMess", 1);
    pose_sub = n.subscribe<Sigvers_Ros::Velocity>("mycommand_velocity",    1,&SendController::poseCallback,this);
    ros::Rate loop_rate(10);
   }




**Robot Controller [#ed1b8138]

 double SendController::onAction(ActionEvent &evt)
 {
  my->setWheelVelocity(Weel_one,Weel_two);
  ros::spinOnce();
  return 1.0;
 }


- Now let’s create a Node to control the robot’s velocity:


**Command Node initialization ROS Side [#ed1b8139]

  CommandSig::CommandSig():
   linear_(0),
   angular_(0),
   l_scale_(2.0),
   a_scale_(2.0)
   {
    nh_.param("scale_angular", a_scale_, a_scale_);
    nh_.param("scale_linear", l_scale_, l_scale_);
    vel_pub_ = nh_.advertise<Sigvers_Ros::Velocity>("mycommand_velocity", 1);
    mess_sub =    nh_.subscribe("CommandMess",100,&CommandSig::chatterCallback,this);
    
    }
- Initialization of the command Node's Parameters 

- The Node will send velocity information using mycommand_velocity Topic

- The Node will receive information using CommandMess Topic

- And finally let’s write the main function which launches the command  node

**Main to execute the Node [#v1bef770]

 int main(int argc, char** argv)
  {
   ros::init(argc, argv, "Sigvers_Command_node");
   CommandSig Command_sig;
   ros::Rate loop_rate(10);
   ros::spin();
   return(0);
  }

- this command creates and does initialization on the Sigvers_Command_node
Node 

**Message Sender [#ed1b8140]

-Now let’s create the callback function which receveces message from Sigverse - Node and  sends the right command to the robot:

** Robot Motion Command ROS Side [#ed1b8141]

   void CommandSig::chatterCallback (const std_msgs::String::ConstPtr& msg)
   {
    Sigvers_Ros::Velocity vel;
    if(strcmp("go",msg->data.c_str())==0)
    {
    vel.angular = 3.0;
    vel.linear = 3.0;
    vel_pub_.publish(vel);
    }
    else if(strcmp("back",msg->data.c_str())==0)
   {
    vel.angular = -3.0;
    vel.linear = -3.0;
    vel_pub_.publish(vel);
    }
    else if(strcmp("left" ,msg->data.c_str())==0)
   {
   vel.angular = 0.78;
   vel.linear = -0.78;
   vel_pub_.publish(vel);
   sleep(1.8);
   vel.angular = 0.0;
   vel.linear = 0.0;
   vel_pub_.publish(vel);
   }
   else if(strcmp("right" ,msg->data.c_str())==0)
   {
   vel.angular = -0.78;
   vel.linear = 0.78;
   vel_pub_.publish(vel);
   sleep(1.8);
   vel.angular = 0.0;
   vel.linear =  0.0;
   vel_pub_.publish(vel);
   }
   else if(strcmp("stop",msg->data.c_str())==0)
  {
   vel.angular = 0.0;
   vel.linear = 0.0;
   vel_pub_.publish(vel);
  }
 ………
 }




- Create a new ROS Package :
- We need to create a new Ros Package to perform the ROS SIGverse integration

- Let’s create a new directory  named catkin_ws and let’s perform those few tasks

- Create a new folder named src.

- Now let’s initialize our workspace by using the following command:

**Catkin command [#ed1b8136]
  $catkin_init_workspace in the ~/catkin_ws folder  


- Now we have our workspace let’s create our SIGverse ROS Package 


-Firstable we need to make a new folder named SIGverse  then  edit the Cmake  file and  Sig_app.cpp in a new src folder which PATH is: 

  $~/catkin_ws/src/Sigvers_Ros/src.



-Now  make  Cmake file in order to create the wanted package.
Catkin_make will generate a /devel folder with contains /devel/lib folder and in there the Cmake file generated a libSig_app.so file which will be used by the xml world file to control the robot simulation.
Now let’s souce our package by using the following command:



   $source ~/catkin_ws2/devel/setup.sh 




-Now we can check our package by executing this command 
--Roscd Sigvers_Ros so we get the following result:



CMakeLists.txt
include
msg
package.xml
src



This shows that the Sigvers_Ros packages exists



Cmake parameters:
For Sig.cpp:
 cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
 project(Sigvers_Ros)
  find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS roscpp rospy std_msgs message_generation )




 ## Generate messages in the 'msg' folder
     add_message_files(
     FILES
     Velocity.msg
     )




  ## Generate added messages and services with any dependencies listed here
     generate_messages(
     DEPENDENCIES
     std_msgs
     )



  ADD_LIBRARY(Sig_app src/Sig_app.cpp)
  target_link_libraries(Sig_app ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
  add_dependencies(Sig_app Sigvers_Ros_gencpp)




- We use the target_link_libraries which generates the .so file 
  include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})
  include_directories(/home/ericgt/sigverse-2.2.0/include/sigverse/home/ericgt/sigverse-2.2.0/include/sigverse/comm/controller)


- We include SiGverse .h files to compile our controller’s source code
Catkin Command:
-- catkin_make we compile our code using Cmake parameters so we generate .so  file used by the xml world file to control the robot simulation.
