I upgraded my turtlebot to ROS Hydro. I can run all typical test programs for the turtlebot without any problems but when I try and create my own packages it can't find turtlebot_node. I know this method worked with Fuerte.

For example: This is how I created a new package called color tracking: catkin_create color_tracking rospy std_msgs turtlebot_node

And then catkin_make gives an error that it can't find turtlebot_node.

Be sure to add your created packages to the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH in the bashrc file. Or alternatively, you could tell it to include your package path every time you open a new terminal. I'm relatively new but I just found out that this is likely why my own created launch files weren't working. This question has some good information on it and I've added two other links below as well:

Hope this helps!
