ROS melodic does it support Turtlebot2 ?

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my machine, and ROS melodic as well. How could I install the packages of Turtlebot 2 ?

The turtlebot packages to support the TurtleBot2 have not yet been released into Melodic. Since melodic is an LTS release we expect to release the turtlebot packages there, but we have not finished testing as well as verifying that ll the dependencies are already ready. Look for an announcement in the TurtleBot Discourse Category

What should I do for running ROS on Turtlebot2 in my machine under Ubuntu 18.04? thanks

If you want to use 18.04 in the mean time before things are released you can always build it from source. There have not been many changes recently so likely it will just work out of the box. I'd suggest installing the core from debian packages and putting the turtlebot packages into a workspace.

Where could I find the turtlebot packages ? How to install them ?

There's a landing page for the TurtleBots here: http://wiki.ros.org/Robots/TurtleBot which can hopefully get you started.

Thanks for this question, would also like to run full TurtleBot2 stack in melodic on Ubuntu 18.04. Managed to actually build all of that and while waiting for the TB2 to arrive, want to work with simulator. Very close, but depthimage_to_laserscan nodelet is somehow broken.

For the build this worked

$ cd ws-melodic
$ wstool init src https://raw.githubusercontent.com/turtlebot/turtlebot/kinetic/turtlebot.rosinstall
$ wstool merge -t src  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/turtlebot/turtlebot_simulator/indigo/turtlebot_simulator.rosinstall
$ catkin_make

Running

$ roslaunch turtlebot_gazebo turtlebot_world.launch

almost works but getting

[ERROR] [1531744943.775336027, 0.200000000]: Failed to load nodelet [/depthimage_to_laserscan]

Seems that this nodelet is obsolete, superceded by other mechanism e.g. pointcloud-to-laserscan. Help apprec

Update, got depthimage_to_laserscan to build checking out mikaelarguedas-patch-1 branch. Still, keyboard_teleop does not work, probing.

IMO ticket is the best place to keep track of the progress status. There's already turtlebot/turtlebot#272.

I used Turtlebot3 for simulation in the gazebo and performed SLAM and navigation part. I wanted to implement the turtlebot3 package on the QBot 2e robot (Differential drive robot with raspberry pi 3 B+, Kobuki platform, and Kinect sensor) from Quanser company. I recently realized that it requires a lot of modifications and thinking to use turtlebot 2e package for the QBot 2e. Can I use the turtlebot 2e package for the Qbot 2e robot? if so, is there any documentation available?

Please don't post link-only answers as they're discouraged (the link can and does go down/disappear). This also seems like more of an advertisement than something that's intended to be helpful for the community
