I have no idea what is wrong. I have a launch file that appears to be unable to be ran. thank you for any help.
Two comments/questions:
root?pidpackage installed?There seem to be more an more of questions following this pattern: Start with
Straight dump of the erroror similar with some pasted snippets and little to no context.See e.g. #q318902, #q320051, #q324528, #q325313, #q336249 and #q330848, to just name a few.
The posts seem to almost exclusively come from users that have just registered, and that don't really provide more information when asked for it (there are some exceptions in the examples, but still...). To me, those seem to be at least in part bots.
Instead of wasting resources on answering those kind of questions and and querying for more information, should we start closing them with a link to the Support page? I'd suggest that, but obviously this is up for discussion...
Ok so basically this is a program running on a bot called duckiebot. This is for a class assignment we are suppose to write a pid controller. So I wrote the controller and created the ros package on my computer which is running ubuntu 18.04. We used dockerfiles to get everything on our duckiebot and the duckiebot commands put everything into root when ur connected with and running programs on the robot itself.
As for is the thing on the machine. So I can see the file it's trying to launch which is pid.launch in one of the directories. But if I run roslaunch <package_name> <file_name.launch> it cant find the file. If I just roslaunch the file however it seems to launch until it then cant find itself. I apologize if this is really bad information I have little experience with ros and programming in general ...(more)
@klondikebarr thanks for adding additional information and, above all, context. Please put this in your question by editing it, instead of commenting below here, and make sure that all relevant steps are decscribed, together with what you have tried so far and what didn't work. Also, you still haven't answered question 2 by @gvdhoorn above.
