Hello! I've been trying to configure communication between laptop and youbot Kuka using wireless network. ROS installed on the laptop is Kinetic and ROS installed on the mobile robot is Hydro. In my opinion i configured correctly .bashrc files on the two machines. The laptop is master. When i start

roscore

and

 rosrun turtlesim turtelesim_node

on the master machine everything is fine. However..when i write

rostopic list

on the slave machine (kuka Youbot) there is a mistake and i don't know how to solve the problem. I will be very grateful to help. The error is:

youbot@ubuntu:~$ rostopic list

How do you connect to your robot? Have you seen multiple_machines and network_setup guides?

It was a spelling mistake. The row inside my /.bashrc file was:

export ROS_MASTER_URI=master_hostname:11311

The correct version is:

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://master_hostname:11311

Does it solve your problem then?
