Hi,

Your subscriber should be instantiated outside of your loop:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        init(argc, argv, "testPlayer");
        NodeHandle n;

        Subscriber sub;
        sub = n.subscribe("scan", 1000, &testPlayer::callBack, &test);

        Rate loop_rate(5);

        testPlayer test;

        while ( ok() ) {

            spinOnce();

            loop_rate.sleep();
        }

  return 0;
}

This should work normally.

Cheers,

Ugo
