Hi, every body. When I use the command line "roslaunch turtlebot_bringup minimal.launch", this "[warn]Create: robot not connected yet, sci not available" always occurs. I use the Hydro edition in Ubuntu 12.04. And the turtlebot was bulid by myself with a Lenovo laptop and iRobot Create.

Here is the detail:

I have tried several solutions on the web, but none works. Some of them are:

  1. Change the permission of /dev/ttyUSB0 using "chmod 777"

  2. Change the type of TURTLEBOT_BASE in file minimal.launch

  3. Install the driver on the page http://wiki.ros.org/irobot_create_2_1 But this conflicts with the driver in the turtlebot package.

  4. Change the code in turtlebot_node.py: def set_operation_mode(self,req): if not self.robot.sci: raise Exception("Robot not connected, SCI not available")

    It is definitely related with self.robot.sci, but I still have no idea of what causes the warning。

Any ideas? Thanks.

Usually that means that the Create is not turned on or the serial cable is not plugged into the robot fully.

There was also an issue if the battery is not charged: http://answers.ros.org/question/62893...

In fact, I checked this page before, but it seemed useless. I'm sure the Create is turned on and the serial cable is plugged into the robot fully, because I can even control it using the keyborad. The problem is that the warning still occurs.

If you're driving something around with the keyboard it suggests that you are already running the create driver. Thus you shouldn't be launching another copy. Or does it work with this warning appearing?

Yes, it works with this warning. I just wonder why the warning occurs. Or maybe I should ignore it. Thank you so much. :)
