hello, I am trying to navigate a robot(P3AT) spawned in usarsim environment using keyboard from another computer where ros is installed, but its not working, please help me out, i tried a lot but can't figure out the mistake.

I am following these steps given below:-

In one terminal Run $roscore

Spawn a Robot in usarsim, for this i am following these steps:-

A. Start usarsim, which is in another windows machine.

B. In another ros terminal Run the the following command:

$roslaunch usarsim_inf usarsim.launch

This spawns a P3AT robot in usarsim environment. and following output appears:-

... logging to /home/cr-lab-tu/.ros/log/e3f28b38-4729-11e4-959a-2c27d7efa01b/roslaunch-crlabtu-HP-Z800-Workstation-3277.log
Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take awhile.
Press Ctrl-C to interrupt

Then i run teleop_twist_keyboard using the following command:-
```
$ rosrun teleop_twist_keyboard teleop_twist_keyboard.py
```

Run the slam_gmapping node, using the following command:-

$ rosrun gmapping slam_gmapping scan:=lms200 _odom_frame:=odom

Now i can press the keyboard keys to navigate the Robot in usarsim environment, but when i do it nothing happens and following error gets added each time when i press the keyboard keys to navigate the robot, on the terminal where i launch the usarsim.launch file. errors are given below:-
```
[ERROR] [1411920792.568087748]: usarsimInf::peerMsg: not handling type SW_SEN_ENCODER
```
I have run $rosrun rqt_graph rqt_graph and i found the following rqt_graph-click to view
Then i've run the follownig command:
```
$ rostopic echo /cmd_vel
```
This generated following graph click to view

Please help me to figure out the error if any or correct way to navigate through Keyboard.

You've already asked this before. Please update your old question instead of asking a new question.

hello @ahendrix, in the old question i asked regarding teleop_twist_keyboard's issue with executive_usarsim package,

but in this question i asked that usarsim_inf not working with teleop_twist_keyboard.

so they are not the same question because they are dealing with different package.

terminal-1: $ echo “source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash” >> ~/.bashrc $ . ~/.bashrc $ sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall python-rosdep ros-fuerte-brown-remotelab ros-fuerte-control ros-fuerte-common-msgs ros-fuerte-slam-gmapping ros-fuerte-hector-slam $ rosws init ~/fuerte_workspace /opt/ros/fuerte $ echo “source ~/fuerte_workspace/setup.bash” >> ~/.bashrc $ mkdir ~/fuerte_workspace/sandbox $ source ~/fuerte_workspace/setup.bash $ rosws set ~/fuerte_workspace/sandbox $ source ~/fuerte_workspace/setup.bash $ roscd $ cd sandbox $ git clone git://git.assembla.com/usarsim.git (Under the proxy, try “git clone http://git.assembla.com/usarsim.git&#8221") $ rosmake usarsim_inf At this point if making usarsim_inf is successful, then use these steps, terminal-1: $ roscore terminal-2: $ export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH:`pwd` $ roslaunch usarsim_inf usarsim.launch terminal-3: $ rosrun teleop_twist_keyboard teleop_twist_keyboard.py

I think 'PWD' should use backticks instead of single quotes.
