Yes, it works with this warning. I just wonder why the warning occurs. Or maybe I should ignore it. Thank you so much. :)

OK. I think I've figured out this problem. It's in the file diagnostics.yaml in the turtlebot_bringup package.

Where exactly can I make this change?

In fact, I checked this page before, but it seemed useless. I'm sure the Create is turned on and the serial cable is plugged into the robot fully, because I can even control it using the keyborad. The problem is that the warning still occurs.

Hi, every body. When I use the command line "roslaunch turtlebot_bringup minimal.launch", this "[warn]Create: robot not connected yet, sci not available" always occurs. I use the Hydro edition in Ubuntu 12.04. And the turtlebot was bulid by myself with a Lenovo laptop and iRobot Create.

Here is the detail:

I have tried several solutions on the web, but none works. Some of them are:

1. Change the permission of /dev/ttyUSB0 using "chmod 777"

2. Change the type of TURTLEBOT_BASE in file minimal.launch

3. Install the driver on the page http://wiki.ros.org/irobot_create_2_1 But this conflicts with the driver in the turtlebot package.

4. Change the code in turtlebot_node.py: def set_operation_mode(self,req): if not self.robot.sci: raise Exception("Robot not connected, SCI not available")

   It is definitely related with self.robot.sci, but I still have no idea of what causes the warning。

Any ideas? Thanks.

Actually, I faced the same problem that the turtle kept going straightly and figured it out just now. Change "q.setRPY(msg->theta, 0, 0)" to "q.setRPY(0, 0, msg->theta)", and re-catkin_make. This a little different from Fuerte, which is in the transform.setRotation Function.

try “sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall”
