rosc is a dependency-free ROS client implementation in ANSI C (catkin required to build, but not on the target system to run the node) which aims to support small embedded systems as well as any operating system. Its long-term goal is to become a hardened, efficient and highly portable implementation of the ROS middleware, making it a good choice for use in industrial applications or product development.

rosc alpha supports subscribers and publishers, with some known issues with nested messages currently remaining, maybe also with dynamic arrays.

See Doxygen Documentation at: http://synapticon.github.io/rosc/

How to try it.

Currently it is still an alpha. To try it out you have to do the following:

mkdir ~/rosc_ws

cd ~/rosc_ws

git clone git@github.com:synapticon/rosc.git

cd rosc

rm CMakeLists.txt

catkin_init_workspace

cd /opt/ros/indigo/etc/ros/genmsg

sudo touch genc

cd /opt/ros/indigo/lib

sudo ln -s ~/rosc_ws/rosc/genc

cd ~/rosc_ws

catkin_make --source rosc
