Files not found when launching from remote PC
When trying to use a launchfile to launch ROS nodes on two seperate machines, the remote PC cannot find the files I want to launch. I have also installed both packages on both machines for testing purpouses. The files is can be launched on both PC's, but when I try to launch them remotely, they're not found.
I have looked at a lot of other people using ROS on two machines, but I cannot seem to find any solution to this problem. Any suggestions/help is appreciated. All necessary files is listed below.
EDIT: I have tried launching the turtlesim teleop node on the remote PC, a node that is native in ROS. This works with no problem, so the problem lies in custom made nodes.
EDIT: Added the "printenv" variables from manually
Main launch file
<launch>
<include file="$(find r18dv_tf_publisher)/hosts/hosts.machine" />
<node machine="tegra_a" pkg="r18dv_tf_publisher" type="tf_broadcaster" name="tf_broadcaster" />
<node machine="tegra_b" pkg="r18dv_simple_heading_controller" type="r18dv_simple_heading_controller_node" name="heading_controller" output="screen" />
</launch>
hosts.machine
<launch>
<machine name="tegra_a" address="10.42.0.28" env-loader="/opt/ros/kinetic/env.sh" />
<machine name="tegra_b" address="10.42.0.29" env-loader="/opt/ros/kinetic/env.sh" />
</launch>
The file structure is identical on the two machines, and both env.sh files is located at the same location.
