Hi all,

I've installed groovey version in my os (ubuntu 12.10), i want to test my navigation algorithm for my project in a mobile robot, so i select gazebo simulator and pioneer3dx, but when i want to use this command for groovy(sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-p2os) i got this error (E: Unable to locate package ros-groovy-p2os), what should i do?! i think this stack is not available for groovy version, is it correct ?

Thank you so much for your help.

Use the new p2os repository for Groovy!

git clone https://github.com/allenh1/p2os

Hi allenh1, I cloned from ur source. then when i run $rosrun p2os_dashboard p2os_dashboard i get rospkg.common.ResourceNotFound: robot_monitor. I did source for both path (opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash and catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash). Please help. I'm stuck here.

Use ROSAIRA instead of p2os, which is unavailable in groovy and has been broken for quite some time.

Here is a tutorial that I give my students for getting ROS running on a P3AT, it should be a similar process for a DX, just change the URDF:
