Special blocks in EEROS take care of sending signals to and receiving signals from ROS. These signals must be packed into ROS messages. Each topic transmits messages of a certain type. Depending on the message type you have to use certain blocks in your control system, see [[eeros_architecture: | Special blocks in EEROS take care of sending signals to and receiving signals from ROS.

+ | If you adapt the *.json file correctly, your application should now run on hardware with real encoders and motors without any problems. | ||
+ | It is also possible to use ROS-topics alongside real hardware. | ||
+ | You can use \textit{comedi-eeros} to read an encoder and set a control value for a motor. | ||
+ | At the same time, you can publish the same values to ROS topics to visualize the state of the robot with \textit{rviz} (if you have a model of your robot) or you can monitor the values with a ROS tool like '' | ||
+ | With \textit{Multiplot} you can also store the values in a text file. | ||
