[ros-users] Remote simple action clients

[Daniel Stonier]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting simple action clients to work across a
remote connection.

I've got roscore running on an embedded board, everything fine and
locally contactable there. However, over the LAN (exporting
ROS_MASTER_URI appropriately) I can publish and subscribe to topics,
call services, but I can't do the following with a simple action
client:


	typedef actionlib::SimpleActionClient<manipulation_comms::MoveArmAction>
ActionClient;
	ActionClient action_client("/move_arm");

	if ( !action_client.waitForServer( ros::Duration(1.5)) ) {
		ROS_WARN_STREAM("Could not connect to the move_arm action server.");
	} else {
		ROS_INFO_STREAM("Connected to the move_arm action server.");
	}

Is this expected?

Regards,
Daniel Stonier
