neato does not respond to keyboard commands

edit

Hi,

I use ros/kinetic under ubuntu 16.04 and try to get a vorwerk VR100 (XV11) to work.

Issue: I am at the very beginning to start something really great ... I want to move the VR100 with my keyboard around, but nothing happens when I hit I,U, etc ...

I followed this guide: https://bbot.org/blog/archives/2016/0...

According to this guide, I should run first "roslaunch neato_node bringup.launch"
