For example, the route /hello/ accepts requests for /hello/alice as well as /hello/bob, but not for /hello, /hello/ or /hello/mr/smith. Each wildcard passes the covered part of the URL as a keyword argument to the request callback. You can use them right away and implement RESTful, nice-looking and meaningful URLs with ease. ArduinoJson Advanced Response. This response can handle really large Json objects (tested to 40KB) There isn't any noticeable speed decrease for small results with the method above Since ArduinoJson does not allow reading parts of the string, the whole Json has to be passed every time a chunks needs to be sent, which shows speed decrease proportional to the resulting json packets.

To run the hello world program, you'll have to follow the following steps −

Write a C++ program

Now that you have a compiler installed, its time to write a C++ program. Let's start with the epitome of programming example's, it, the Hello world program. We'll print hello world to the screen using C++ in this example. Create a new file called hello.cpp and write the following code to it −

Let's dissect this program.

Line 1 − We start with the #include<iostream> line which essentially tells the compiler to copy the code from the iostream file(used for managing input and output streams) and paste it in our source file. Header iostream, that allows to perform standard input and output operations, such as writing the output of this program (Hello World) to the screen. Lines beginning with a hash sign (#) are directives read and interpreted by what is known as the preprocessor.

Line 2 − A blank line: Blank lines have no effect on a program.

Line 3 − We then declare a function called main with the return type of int. main() is the entry point of our program. Whenever we run a C++ program, we start with the main function and begin execution from the first line within this function and keep executing each line till we reach the end. We start a block using the curly brace({) here. This marks the beginning of main's function definition, and the closing brace (}) at line 5, marks its end. All statements between these braces are the function's body that defines what happens when main is called.

Line 4 −

Dev C Hello World Example Code

This line is a C++ statement. This statement has three parts: First, std::cout, which identifies the standard console output device. Second the insertion operator << which indicates that what follows is inserted into std::cout. Last, we have a sentence within quotes that we'd like printed on the screen. This will become more clear to you as we proceed in learning C++.

In short, we provide cout object with a string 'Hello worldn' to be printed to the standard output device.

Note that the statement ends with a semicolon (;). This character marks the end of the statement

Compile the Program

Now that we've written the program, we need to translate it to a language that the processor understands, ie, in binary machine code. We do this using a compiler we installed in the first step. You need to open your terminal/cmd and navigate to the location of the hello.cpp file using the cd command. Assuming you installed the GCC, you can use the following command to compile the program −

Python Hello World

This command means that you want the g++ compiler to create an output file, hello using the source file hello.cpp.

Run the program

Now that we've written our program and compiled it, time to run it! You can run the program using −

You will get the output −

Goal: Create and run a publisher and subscriber node using Python

Tutorial level: Beginner

Time: 20 minutes

Contents

In this tutorial, you will create nodes that pass information in the form of string messages to each other over a topic.The example used here is a simple “talker” and “listener” system;one node publishes data and the other subscribes to the topic so it can receive that data.

In previous tutorials, you learned how to create a workspace and create a package.

A basic understanding of Python is recommended, but not entirely necessary.

Open a new terminal and source your ROS 2 installation so that ros2 commands will work.

Navigate into the dev_ws directory created in a previous tutorial.

Recall that packages should be created in the src directory, not the root of the workspace.So, navigate into dev_ws/src, and run the package creation command:

Your terminal will return a message verifying the creation of your package py_pubsub and all its necessary files and folders.

Navigate into dev_ws/src/py_pubsub/py_pubsub.Recall that this directory is a Python package with the same name as the ROS 2 package it’s nested in.

Download the example talker code by entering the following command:

Right click this link and select Save As publisher_member_function.py:

Now there will be a new file named publisher_member_function.py adjacent to __init__.py.

Open the file using your preferred text editor.

C++ Hello World Gcc

2.1 Examine the code¶

The first lines of code after the comments import rclpy so its Node class can be used.

The next statement imports the built-in string message type that the node uses to structure the data that it passes on the topic.

These lines represent the node’s dependencies.Recall that dependencies have to be added to package.xml, which you’ll do in the next section.

Next, the MinimalPublisher class is created, which inherits from (or is a subclass of) Node.

Following is the definition of the class’s constructor.super().__init__ calls the Node class’s constructor and gives it your node name, in this case minimal_publisher.

create_publisher declares that the node publishes messages of type String (imported from the std_msgs.msg module), over a topic named topic, and that the “queue size” is 10.Queue size is a required QoS (quality of service) setting that limits the amount of queued messages if a subscriber is not receiving them fast enough.

Next, a timer is created with a callback to execute every 0.5 seconds.self.i is a counter used in the callback.

timer_callback creates a message with the counter value appended, and publishes it to the console with get_logger().info.

Lastly, the main function is defined.

First the rclpy library is initialized, then the node is created, and then it “spins” the node so its callbacks are called.

2.2 Add dependencies¶

Navigate one level back to the dev_ws/src/py_pubsub directory, where the setup.py, setup.cfg, and package.xml files have been created for you.

Open package.xml with your text editor.

As mentioned in the previous tutorial, make sure to fill in the <description>, <maintainer> and <license> tags:

Add a new line after the ament_python buildtool dependency and paste the following dependencies corresponding to your node’s import statements:

This declares the package needs rclpy and std_msgs when its code is executed.

Make sure to save the file.

2.3 Add an entry point¶

Open the setup.py file.Again, match the maintainer, maintainer_email, description and license fields to your package.xml:

Add the following line within the console_scripts brackets of the entry_points field:

Don’t forget to save.

2.4 Check setup.cfg¶

The contents of the setup.cfg file should be correctly populated automatically, like so:

This is simply telling setuptools to put your executables in lib, because ros2run will look for them there.

You could build your package now, source the local setup files, and run it, but let’s create the subscriber node first so you can see the full system at work.

Return to dev_ws/src/py_pubsub/py_pubsub to create the next node.Enter the following code in your terminal:

Right click this link and select Save As subscriber_member_function.py:

Now the directory should have these files:

3.1 Examine the code¶

Open the subscriber_member_function.py with your text editor.

The subscriber node’s code is nearly identical to the publisher’s.The constructor creates a subscriber with the same arguments as the publisher.Recall from the topics tutorial that the topic name and message type used by the publisher and subscriber must match to allow them to communicate.

The subscriber’s constructor and callback don’t include any timer definition, because it doesn’t need one.Its callback gets called as soon as it receives a message.

The callback definition simply prints an info message to the console, along with the data it received.Recall that the publisher defines msg.data='HelloWorld:%d'%self.i

The main definition is almost exactly the same, replacing the creation and spinning of the publisher with the subscriber.

Since this node has the same dependencies as the publisher, there’s nothing new to add to package.xml.The setup.cfg file can also remain untouched.

3.2 Add an entry point¶

Reopen setup.py and add the entry point for the subscriber node below the publisher’s entry point.The entry_points field should now look like this:

Make sure to save the file, and then your pub/sub system should be ready for use.

You likely already have the rclpy and std_msgs packages installed as part of your ROS 2 system.It’s good practice to run rosdep in the root of your workspace (dev_ws) to check for missing dependencies before building:

rosdep only runs on Linux, so you can skip ahead to next step.

rosdep only runs on Linux, so you can skip ahead to next step.

Still in the root of your workspace, dev_ws, build your new package:

Open a new terminal, navigate to dev_ws, and source the setup files:

Now run the talker node:

The terminal should start publishing info messages every 0.5 seconds, like so:

Open another terminal, source the setup files from inside dev_ws again, and then start the listener node:

The listener will start printing messages to the console, starting at whatever message count the publisher is on at that time, like so:

Enter Ctrl+C in each terminal to stop the nodes from spinning.

You created two nodes to publish and subscribe to data over a topic.Before running them, you added their dependencies and entry points to the package configuration files.

The code used in these examples can be found here.

Next you’ll create another simple ROS 2 package using the service/client model.Again, you can choose to write it in either C++ or Python.

• There are several ways you could write a publisher and subscriber in Python; check out the minimal_publisher and minimal_subscriber packages in the ros2/examples repo.
