Bump sensors on Turtlebot in Gazebo running kinetic
Bump sensors always return 0 (state= 0) on turtlebot simulated in gazebo running kinetic.
Surely someone else has experienced this problem and knows how to fix it?
Under kinetic, enter the following commands in 4 separate terminals:
roscore
roslaunch turtlebotgazebo turtlebotworld.launch
rostopic pub -r 1 /mobilebase/events/bumper kobukimsgs/BumperEvent "bumper: 1"
rostopic echo /mobile_base/events/bumper
Output from the last shows the bumper is never registered as pressed (state=0)
I'm getting no help from anyone on this simple issue. Perhaps ROS Answers really should be renamed ROS Questions (as actually there are not many answers).

Surely not fair to close this. I'm new to ROS answers and it is has taken me a while to figure out that most questions don't get answered. So I'm putting my issue in a different ways that'll hopefully get a response.

In this version, I'm asking someone who is running kinetic to test the 4 supplied commands and tell me what they get in the way of bumper messages. I would have thought it obvious that would be helpful to me and not too much to ask.

You are clearly debugging the same problem. As such please edit your post to add more information instead of duplicating your question as a request for someone else to do something. Clearly if they are going to take the time to help you they will try to reproduce the problem.

As you've noticed there are a lot of questions, as a part of the community it's your responsibility to not clutter the forum with multiple copies of your request that will make it harder for others to find the relevant answers they are looking. This also makes more work for people answering.
