Problem with connecting to Husky via USB port

asked 2013-08-14 04:09:33 -0600

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.

I am trying to run Husky and using the instruction for husky in fuerte

However, when I use this command "roslaunch husky_bringup base.launch port:=/dev/ttyUSB0" it gives me the following error: connecting error on /dev/ttyUSB0. Will retry every second

Does anyone have any idea what is the source of problem and how can I solve it?

Thanks,

We're working on this directly with @z.bagheri63 via our support line at the moment, but to make sure the answer is out here: We believe that the root cause is that there is more than one ROS instance trying to access the serial port.

Just in case you haven't checked: are you sure that the Husky is connected to USB0? (You can check the latest output from dmesg if you are not sure.)

I guess I connected it to the right USB. The communication indicator on Husky turns green but the connection goes on and off

I don't have personal experience with the Husky platform, so that was the only thing I could think of. I hope someone else as a better idea.
