This problem can be caused by having an incorrect "Fixed Frame" in rviz. For the "2d Nav Goal" and "2d Pose Estimate" buttons to work, the Fixed Frame must be set to "map".

The idea is that you are sending pose information to the navigation system, and it needs to know what coordinate frame the information is relative to. The nav system can only use this data if it is in the "map" coordinate frame.

Hi,

I am able to complete all steps in the turtlebot tutorial, except the autonomous navigation part. I am stuck on where I am supposed to click on the "2D Pose Estimate" button in rviz and drag an arrow to set the initial location for the robot. I see the map that is loaded, and also the green laser scan dots, as well as the arrow that I drag to set the robots position and orientation. The only problem is that the location of the robot doesn't update after I release the drag.

Any suggestions? Thanks! David

Thanks for your answer, Hersh. But the fixed frame option was already set to /map and I still can not get the robot to move. In case it helps, here's the output from the terminal that launched rviz. Thanks!

It sounds like your TurtleBot software on your TurtleBot might not be up to date:

sudo apt-get update

then:

sudo apt-get install ros-diamondback-turtlebot-robot

Thanks! That updating the software helped a bit. It now gets past the previous error, and the robot starts rotating. However, before completing a full turn, it stops and the wrench icon on the dashboard becomes red. Dashboard says Power System: Error. Further clicking reveals: Level: Error. Message: Error.

Below is how it looks on the terminal.

BTW, you must be Melonee from the Youtube videos. Thanks for the help! I might be asking more questions in the future.

I've been following the turtlebot tutorial (http://www.ros.org/wiki/Robots/TurtleBot) I am stuck on 5.TurtleBot Odometry and Gyro Calibration

When I run
$ roslaunch turtlebot_calibration calibrate.launch,
I get the following output, and the final message "Still waiting for scan" repeats forever.

Any suggestions?
I am using the full kit that comes with everything (irobot, kinect, eeepc, etc).

Thanks!
