Revision history [back]

Hi, If you are able to view the pointclouds in rviz, then you might have just overlooked something.

Check rxgraph if the nodes are connected by correct topics.

Try to echo the topic /cmd_vel to see if the keystrokes are giving the msgs.

Check the launch file if the topics are correct.

You should be able to diagnose something with all these checks. Hope it helps

Thanks, Karthik

Following are the checks that you can do 1. do

1. Check the .bashrc of the both workstation and turtlebot_lappy if they are concurrent with the http://www.ros.org/wiki/Robots/TurtleBot/Network%20Setup 2.

2. You may check the network setup by running the turtlesim on turtlebot_lappy and teleop it from the workstation. This should work fine if network is perfectly setup. I explain the steps as follows follows

a)In your turtlebot_lappy

roscore

and

rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node

b)From your workstation

rosrun turtlesim turtle_teleop_key

Check if the turtle is moving in turtlebot_lappy when u press the arrow keys in workstation.

Once this is working. Then i guess you may test the turtlebot with similar procedure.

The rxgraph should look like below for the turtlebot teleoperated from workstation

Hope it helps
