Hello,

I'm a beginner at ROS and Gazebo, so I don't know how to combine the two of them. Initially, I created a launch file that runs two py files of a mobile differential drive robot. How do I import these files into the gazebo? Where can I find the files that the mobile robot will show because I do not have them? Τhat is the chassis's dimensions, wheels' dimensions, and more.

Thanks in advance!

You should start by installing ros, then installing one of the simulation packages someone else already has working. The turtlebot3 one is a good choice if you want to learn about controlling a robot with wheels. You can begin at:

http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot3_simula...

You can also search for tutorials on the wiki about specific subjects, and gain experience by examining the turtlebot3 files. It will take some effort - there are dozens of files and a lot of concepts to understand.

I have already installed ROS and the gazebo. I have made a launch file that I run with the roslaunch command, but I do not know how to integrate my own files in the gazebo.

How do I download what you sent me?

Follow these steps in your terminal window to install the turtlebot3 simulation package -

cd catkin_ws
cd src
git clone https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3_simulations.git (this is the download link which needs to be cloned into your workspace)
cd ..
catkin_make or catkin build (whichever you use for building your workspace)

Doing this will install the turtlebot3 in your catkin workspace which you can start using for learning.

Thank you very much! I will try it.... Can I integrate my py files into this package? But I saw that this package has only cpp files.

Yes, it has cpp files but you can integrate your python files also and use it.

I tried to compile with the command "catkin_make" but I came across this issue https://imgur.com/oJAmQNu

Ok maybe that link I mentioned was for melodic, my bad did not notice it, you are using noetic right, try this

 git clone https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3_simulations.git

Yes, I use noetic

Ok, use the command I mentioned in my previous comment, the error should go mostly.
