- 写发布者节点
如前所述，节点是连接到ROS网络的一个可执行程序，在该例中，写一个节点名为Talker，该节点对外不断发布消息。
先转到包路径：roscd begginner_tutorials
先创建一个src目录用于存放源代码：
mkdir -p src
然后在其中创建一个talker.cpp源文件，并将如下内容粘贴其中（代码解读见其中的中文注释）。

大致步骤如下：- 初始化ros系统：
ros::init(argc, argv, "talker");
- 创建句柄和发布者：
ros::NodeHandle n; ros::Publisher chatter_pub = n.advertise<std_msgs::String>("chatter", 1000); -
指定频率循环发送。
- 初始化ros系统：
- 编写一个订阅者
同样，在包中创建一个listener.cpp，并粘贴以下代码（代码解释见代码中的中文注释）：/* * Copyright (C) 2008, Morgan Quigley and Willow Garage, Inc. * * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: * * Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, * this list of conditions and the following disclaimer. * * Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright * notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the * documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution. * * Neither the names of Stanford University or Willow Garage, Inc. nor the names of its * contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from * this software without specific prior written permission. * * THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" * AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE * IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE * ARE DISCLAIMED.

在CMakeLists.txt中加入如下代码：add_executable(talker src/talker.cpp) target_link_libraries(talker ${catkin_LIBRARIES}) add_dependencies(talker beginner_tutorials_generate_messages_cpp) add_executable(listener src/listener.cpp) target_link_libraries(listener ${catkin_LIBRARIES}) add_dependencies(listener beginner_tutorials_generate_messages_cpp)这些代码会将上述两个节点加入编译为可执行程序，并指定所需链接库和依赖。
然后执行catkin_make，代码如下：# In your catkin workspace $ cd ~/catkin_ws $ catkin_make
编译成功显示如下：

- 运行节点
打开一个新终端：roscore
然后运行talker节点：
rosrun beginner_tutorials talker
出现发布信息：
运行listener节点：
rosrun beginner_tutorials listener
出现接收界面：
运行成功。好久不见，hello world。
