dersimn / beginner_qt Goto Github PK

This is an example package for demonstrating how to use the Qt Framework with the Robot Operating System. The implemented applicaion is the equivalent "listener" from the ROS Tutorial Writing a Simple Publisher and Subscriber (C++) written in Qt.

Assuming you are working with rosws and have a workspace overlay setup in your user directory ~/fuerte_workspace, you can just checkout the git repository with:

git clone https://github.com/seim/beginner_qt.git

Now you introduce the new directory to your ROS framework by executing:

rosws set ~/fuerte_workspace/beginner_qt

After that you should be able to build the package (of course you need to install the Qt toolchain if you haven't yet):

rosmake beginner_qt

And execute the application with:

rosrun beginner_qt listener
