Matlab can't receive Topic from Ros_MasterPC .

9 views (last 30 days)
Good morning, everyone.
I want to use Matlab on Windows10 and Ros on Ubuntu18.04 to exchange data with each other.
I can send Topic using rospublisher, but I cannot receive Topic (chatter2) properly using rossubscriber.
Please solve this problem.
Ros side
Terminal1
$ export ROS_IP=192.168.**. **
$ roscore
Terminal2
$ rosrun *** pub_matlab.py
< pub_matlab.py >
#! /usr/bin/env python
import rospy
from std_msgs.msg import String
def talker():
pub = rospy.Publisher('chatter2', String, queue_size=10)
rospy.init_node('Pub_matlab', anonymous=False)
rate = rospy.Rate(10) # 10hz
while not rospy.is_shutdown():
hello_str = 'Hello'
rospy.loginfo(hello_str)
pub.publish(hello_str)
rate.sleep()
if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
talker()
except rospy.ROSInterruptException:
pass
Matlab side
>>rosinit('http://192.168.**. **:11311','NodeName','/matlab')
>>sub = rossubscriber("/chatter2", "std_msgs/String")
>>sub =

Hello Shogo,
This is probably the most common ROS communication issue I've seen. Usually the issue is that ROS_IP is not set in the terminal that you create the non-MATLAB publisher on. That seems to be the case here.
See this answer for more information.
