ROS_QML_Example

A test project to show how to use QT5 QML and Widgets in a ROS node

This project was created so that I could work out some workflow kinks when using ROS and QT5 together to create a QML or QtWidgets gui node. The repo should be pulled into the /src directory of a catkin workspace and built with catkin_make. All the examples are in the ros package 'pubsub'.

There are four examples in the repo, each consisting of a 'talker' and 'listener' program:

• listener/talker
• listener_qt/talker_qt
• listener_qml/talker_qml
• listener_wig/talker_wig

The 'talker' program publishes a message every 5 seconds and the 'listener' program listens to them. All the talkers should be compatible with all the listeners

Example run

In terminal A: roscore

In terminal B: rosrun pubsub talker_qml

In terminal C: rosrun pubsub listener_qml
