Hi Manuel..... Maybe this post will help you: http://answers.ros.org/question/2151/how-do-i-publish-exactly-one-message Benoit From: Manuel Rodríguez Sent: Friday, October 21, 2011 10:35 AM To: User discussions Subject: [ros-users] Problems publishing topics Hi all, I'm trying to publishing to a topic but I have an absurd problem: When I use this: self.pub = rospy.Publisher('arm_controller/command', JointTrajectory) msg = JointTrajectory() self.pub.publish(msg) it does not publish absolutly nothing. But, if I use the pub.publish inside an infinite loop, it works: self.pub = rospy.Publisher('arm_controller/command', JointTrajectory) msg = JointTrajectory() while True: self.pub.publish(msg) I can publish with -rostopic pub- without problems, so it's a code problem? What I should change?
