Moisture sensors

initial commit for moisture sensors

[Carter90]

Please remove git, src/moisture_sensors/scripts/talker.py, src/moisture_sensors/src/talker.py files
Fill out src/moisture_sensors/src/test1/package.xml
rename test1 directory to moisture_sensors
Try something like this insted

from gazebo_msgs.srv import GetModelState
import random
model_coordinates = rospy.ServiceProxy('/gazebo/get_model_state', GetModelState)
pots=[(model_coordinates("plant_"+num, "world").pose.position,random.randint(20,500)) for num in range(0,143) ]
pots[50][0] #Point of pot 50
pots[50][0].x #x cord of pot 50
pots[50][0].y #y cord of pot 50
pots[50][0].z #z cord of pot 50
pots[50][1] #mosture of pot 50

or if you want to use

pots=[{pose:model_coordinates("plant_"+num, "world").pose.position,moisture_level:random.randint(20,500)} for num in range(0,143)]
pots[50].pose #Point of pot 50
pots[50].pose.x  #x cord of pot 50
pots[50].moisture_level #mosture of pot 50

disclaimer this code is untested, wrote it without the sim running

[Carter90]

Otherwise looks okay, but in the future please verify that it compiles and runs like below

catkin clean -y
catkin build
source ./devel/setup.bash 
roscore &
rosrun moisture_sensors talker.py &
rostopic echo /moisture

# when done
killall roscore

[Carter90]

Cool but could you change to what we've heard the sensors are publishing (besides id that's something I requested)
So a .msg file that looks like this

uint32 id
float32 temp
float32 pot_imp
float32 plant_imp

[Carter90]

newline here would be nice

[birajsilwal]

Is it like "String newLine" in the .msg file and then in talker.py, msg.newLine = " " or is there any specific way to have a new line in .msg file?

[Carter90]

no newline as in the \n character at the end of the file, its fine I've added it in #34

[Carter90]

This is how it shows up on github if you look at the files view

[birajsilwal]

I see. cool. thanks.

[Carter90]

It runs, now my turn to integrate.
