Problems with the Turtlebot Dashboard Launch

edit

I believe Groovy by default assumes a TurtleBot is using a Kabuki base with related drivers and sensors. When using a TurtleBot with the Create base, you'll see errors similar to that in the original post.

For me the key to getting a dashboard up with the Create base is to set the following environment variables on both the robot laptop and the remote workstation:

export TURTLEBOT_BASE=create
export TURTLEBOT_STACKS=circles
export TURTLEBOT_3D_SENSOR=kinect

I can then get a working dashboard by running the following on the robot laptop:

roslaunch turtlebot_bringup minimal.launch

And the following command on my workstation laptop:

roslaunch turtlebot_dashboard turtlebot_dashboard.launch
