Hello, I hope you can help me. I have a real turtlebot3 waffle with an LSD sensor. I am trying to map my office but its not working. hrer are the lauch files of gmapping and turtlebot3_slam:

  • I have TurtleBot3 Waffle
  • ROS Kinetic Kame is working with TurtleBot3
  • Raspberry Pi 3(Single Board Computer) is working on TurtleBot3
  • Ubuntu MATE 16.04 installed in SBC
  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) installed in Remote PC

I have tried to execute gmapping Slam with the following commands:

  1. -roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_robot.launch

  2. roslaunch turtlebot3_slam turtlebo3_slam slam_methods:=gmapping

this is Issue:

After running bringup, check if the topics are being published or not using rostopic echo <topicName>

I have tested rostopic echo /scan and I got this:

Expand LaserScan in rviz and set the topic to /scan, looks like the values are being published correctly so they should be displayed in rviz without problem. Now to get the slam working I think the scan data must be published on /laser/scan topic instead of the /scan topic, please check with rosnode info what topic the gmapping node is subscribed to.

the Issue was solved withe the following commands. if you are using waffle platform, you can follow below waffle specific command.

Update OpenCR firmware from TurtleBot3 RPi

$ export OPENCR_PORT=/dev/ttyACM0
$ export OPENCR_MODEL=waffle
$ rm -rf ./opencr_update.tar.bz2
$ wget https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/OpenCR-Binaries/raw/master/turtlebot3/ROS1/latest/opencr_update.tar.bz2 && tar -xvf opencr_update.tar.bz2 && cd ./opencr_update && ./update.sh $OPENCR_PORT $OPENCR_MODEL.opencr && cd ..

Update the source code in your PC

$ cd ~/catkin_ws/src/turtlebot3
$ git pull
$ cd ~/catkin_ws && catkin_make

Then I launched below commands From PC,

$ roscore

from TurtleBot3

$ roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_robot.launch

from PC,

$ export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle
$ roslaunch turtlebot3_slam turtlebot3_slam.launch slam_methods:=gmapping
