Problems about Turtlebot Camera Network RViz
Hello, i was just that i'm working with ROS and Turtlebot. My configuration is: Workstation: Dell xps (i7 and 8Gb RAM) ubuntu 11.10(64bit, Wubi) Ros electric Netbook (on Turtlebot): Samsung N150 ubuntu 10.04 Ros electric Robot: Turtlebot Camera: Asus Xtion pro live
I encountered several problems:
1) If on netbook run turtlebot service i can not send commands by workstation while if i stop the service with sudo service turtlebot stop and launch roslaunch turtlebot_bringup minimal.launch or other on netbook the system works (eg the teleop by the workstation is ok). Why?
2)If i try to start the nodes of the camera on netbook (i try with openni.launch openni_node.launch kinect.launch) i can see the image on my netbook perfectly with commands as: rosrun image_view image_view image:=/camera/rgb/image_color(or mono) or in rviz but on the workstation the images arrive with very delay (about 45s) and after few seconds the network falls. I must reset the network board of the workstation because it no works with any network. The dashboard, when i launch the nodes of the camera on netbook, show this message:
[/openni_camera] Number devices connected: 1 INFO [/openni_camera] 1. device on bus 001:04 is a PrimeSense Device (600) from PrimeSense (1d27) with serial id '' INFO [/openni_camera] device_id is not set! Using first device. WARN [/openni_camera] Opened 'PrimeSense Device' on bus 1:4 with serial number '' INFO rgb_frame_id = 'camera_rgb_optical_frame' INFO depth_frame_id = 'camera_depth_optical_frame' INFO
but after is totally ok and if i launch rostopic hz /camera... on netbook i get:

avarage rate:22.500 min: 0.011s max: 1.410s std dev: 0.09880s window: 197
about once for second instead on workstation i get:

I have tried to exchange the dell xps with the netbook and the images arrive with about 2s of delay (from workstation to netbook) and the visualization is better but the network still falls after few time. What is the problem? I wish i could see on my workstation what the camera on Turtlebot sees when the robot go. How could i do to get this? The network should be set well because the teleop, the rostopic pub(in any direction) and the ping work.
3) When the nodes of the camera are active, on netbook, on rviz(that it works only setting ...
What resolution is the camera?
The resolution is 1280*1024 but today i have tried to change workstation (i have used a acer aspire 5920) and the network was slow (delay 2s, acceptable), but don't falls!! On my Dell i have try to change the setting in reconfigure_gui. i have decreased the quality but the network falls always.
I just tried again with acer and the delay is 40s, but the network doesn't fall.
