i have been trying to read all the forums and tutorials , but i dont know where to start. Please guide this noob.

so there are two parts to my question.

i want to make a custom rqt plugin using Qt 5.7. I have already created the user interface in Qt 5.7. so how can i integrate it into ROS(so that it appears as one of the rqt plugins)

a) i have went through the tutorial of how to create a cpp rqt plugin . I dont know what to do after i create all the files(Cmakelist.txt, package.xml, plugin.xml, my_plugin.cpp, my_plugin.h). What to do after that? how can i ensure i can see the rqt plugin in the rqt plugin list. Am i missing anything?

b) this user interface is actually for a moving vehicle(teleoperation). How to use callback/Signal and Slot function to ensure i can communicate(send commands ) via the user interface?

#in Qt, when i click New project -> Import project,i cant see Import ROS project. i tried to run Qt thru terminal but to no avail.

Anyone who could at least guide about how to do would be very beneficial to me. Thank you.
