ROS Subscriber in Simulink does not seem to receive data

19 views (last 30 days)
I have connected Simulink on a computer, with ROS on another one through a tcp/ip interconnection using the ROS publisher and subscriber blocks. The connection is successful and I am able to send information to ROS through the publisher block.
The problem is the only way I have received data from the subscriber block is when I read data from the same topic I am writing (with the publisher block), all the other topics give a blank message despite I have done an "echo" on the PC running ROS and they are not empty.
I selected the topic source from the ros network and also tried to specify my own. Furthermore, I used a virtual machine before testing it on two diffetent PC's and have te same issue.
I am runing Matlab 2021a on Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS Melodic on Ubuntu 18.04.

Hello Angel,
This is likely to be caused by the publisher on the ROS machine not having the ROS_IP environment variable set or set correctly. Please see this answer for details.
