1 | initial version |
At first would I suggest you to synchonize your robot installing chrony
$sudo apt-get install chrony
then, if you have the later versions of Ubuntu you have access to Zeroconf which simplyfies a lot the whole story. With hostname you can find the name of your machine, for istance:
$ hostname
my_computer
$ hostname
my_robot
Now I suggest you the following trick: just add .local at the end of your hostname, then you can do all operations you want to:
$ping my_robot.local
and f course:
$ping my_robot.local
after that set the ROS_MASTER_URI and ROS_HOSTNAME in yur robt and desktop as in the tutorial. Hope it helps
