Note: This tutorial assumes that you have completed the previous tutorials: writing a simple service and client (python) (c++).

Examining the Simple Service and Client

Description: This tutorial examines running the simple service and client.

Tutorial Level: BEGINNER

Next Tutorial: Recording and playing back data

Running the Service

Let's start by running the service:

$ rosrun beginner_tutorials add_two_ints_server     (C++)
$ rosrun beginner_tutorials add_two_ints_server.py  (Python) 

You should see something similar to:

Ready to add two ints.

Running the Client

Now let's run the client with the necessary arguments:

$ rosrun beginner_tutorials add_two_ints_client 1 3     (C++)
$ rosrun beginner_tutorials add_two_ints_client.py 1 3  (Python) 

You should see something similar to:

Requesting 1+3
1 + 3 = 4

Now that you've successfully run your first server and client, let's learn how to record and play back data.
