action support? #182

Closed protobits closed 9 years ago

protobits commented 9 years ago

Hi, I was wondering if rosserial supports actions? I'm considering using rosserial to implement the controller of a robotic manipulator, which is programmed in an Arduino Mega, by directly offering it as a FollowJointTrajectory Action server to a ROS PC. However, if actions are not supported I would need to solve this otherwise.

Not directly, but under the covers an action is just a handful of topics, so you can implement an action client or server manually without much difficulty (I have done this).

@mikepurvis Do you have a Github repository where we can see how do you implement it? That would save us a lot of time. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, nothing public. If you're getting stuck somewhere particular, feel free to open a new issue to discuss it.
