Many thanks for the help Lorenz!

After trying several times, reinstall of ubuntu and turtlebot, at last I got it working. Actually I use the roslaunch file you suggested, the problem is that the startup of the turtlebot is intermittent. I need several times to get it to start, and even then I will always get see several error messages. However, as long as the message is not that the create is not connect error but some other error message normally it is possible then to go into teleop even thought it says in the terminal after running roslaunch that the machine have failed and will exit.

I have asked irobot for specifications of the 780 but they say that they did not want to give me that information. I have run the 780 now through a serial prompt with the OI of the 500 and all appears to be the same.

I will now try to get it working with the kinect and see if i can manage to do some mapping at last!

Thanks!

If someone wants/can help me to close this question i would appreciate that, I don't have enough "reputation" to do that!

Thanks!
