Qt-ROS Communication

[Yunus]

Hi all,

I wonder if there is an easy way to do Qt and ROS communication. The methods which I found on the net, are complicated to me. I only need to send simple letters and numbers to ROS. Is there a simple way to do this?

@Yunus what if you follow the steps described in that blog suggested by @mrjj just using a .pro file?

I mean, the article guides you on setting up the environment both for Qt, Qt Creator and the ROS dependencies and then it's just creating a simple Qt app (in that example, a mainwindow with a button).
Even more, once you have created the .pro project in Qt Creator with the mainwindow.cpp and .h files, etc. you could copy the code from the corresponding C++ files from those examples into your own files.

@Pablo-J-Rogina Do you think it will work with adding files to a .pro based project? Anyway thank you I will try it
