I did make a new line for that code, but it seems that might not be the case (or just the website take effect with a delay, not in real time) as the page remains the same after I did the change. and when I come back a day later, everything is fine.

http://wiki.ros.org/tf/Tutorials/Writ... So on this page, the CodeRef macro didn't work, and I've even tried to copy-paste the corresponding section in

http://wiki.ros.org/WritingTutorials#...

==== CodeRef ====
In a tutorial, you want to reference a code block that you have created earlier in the tutorial you can use `CodeRef`. 
{{{start
{{{
#!cplusplus block=blockname
code....
is super 
and awesome
}}}
start}}}

You can then use the `CodeRef` macro to refer to it
{{{
<<CodeRef(blockname,1,2)>>
}}}

This then looks like:

<<CodeRef(blockname,1,2)>>

the exact same section which works on the "writing tutorials" page didn't work on "writing a tf listener" page.

UPDATE: After waiting long enough, the installation finishes. So I'll close this question. Thanks.

I'm building ROS Hydro Desktop Full following this:

http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installatio...

and after I did this $ wstool init -j8 src hydro-desktop-full-wet.rosinstall

and wait a while, the shell keeps out put this message

[opencv2] still active
[opencv2] still active
[opencv2] still active
[opencv2] still active

I've did several search with google enter code hereand in answers.ros.org without any luck, only found that when other people build Hyrdo from source (like this guy http://rootf.blogspot.com/2013/05/how... ... ... ... [opencv2] still active [opencv2] still active [opencv2] Done.

update complete.g.html), the shell will output something like my error, but the installation continues and finishes.

And I've tried this installation several times, it always stuck at the same place. I will leave the machine running for longer time and see if it will finish.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.04 LTS 64bit version.'

Hi everybody, I got two questions about kinect driver (OpenNI,freeKinect under Ubuntu or even Kinect SDK under windows, what ever works. Kinect here refers to Kinect for Xbox, not Kinect for windows which is more expensive but support up to 4 kinect on same PC)

Al though I got 3 independent USB 2.0 BUS, when I connect 2 Kinects to my PC, they always goes to the same USB BUS

1 is it possible to shut down Kinect_1 temporarily, to get IR streams from Kinect_2 on the same USB bus? For example, I want to do the 3D 360 degree scan, and I need 3 kinects to work together, but I only need them to work in 3 frames (which lasts about 0.1 second), each gives out 1 frame of point cloud.

2 is it possible to reduce the information that sent from kinect to PC, so that I can use several kinect at the same time without any one of them using up the bandwidth? For example, to do the 3D 360 degree scan, I only need 3 different point clouds from 3 different angles of the same object, but not anything else like RGB stream.

part of my lsusb results(to make sure I really had 3 usb 2.0 bus on my laptop):

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

I've got laptop with 4 usb BUS inside, 3 of them are usb 2.0. And I have 4 usb ports on side of my laptop, 3 of them are usb 2.0 PORT and one is 3.0 port. I want to connect 2 kinects to 2 of my usb 2.0 BUS, But no matter which usb 2.0 PORT I connect the Kinects to, they alwas goes in the same usb 2.0 BUS, hence I can only get data out of one Kinect, since one kinect will cost the whole bandwidth of a usb 2.0 BUS.

here's my lsusb results:

I want to force one kinect to use BUS 01 instead of BUS 02, but I don't know how. Any suggestions? Where can I find more information on that?

Hi, I kept searching through the wiki but this page was not created yet (http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosserial/Tutorials/Adding%20Other%20Messages) and I can't try it out myself, so I'm going to ask here.

in this link(http://answers.ros.org/question/11023/rosserial-and-custom-message-cannot-load-package)brice rebsamen says there's a script generating new msg type for me, where is it?

say, I want to define a new msg type new_msg::New, to publish it from PC to arduino. while I got New.h in package new_msg with the command "make" under the package, this New.h is not suitable for arduino liberary. I need a New.h file that tell arduino what the message looks like. What should I do? Thank you in advance!

I try to run Minority Report Interface in MIT Kinect Demos, and when I rosmake kgui, I got this error:

/kgui/src/RosGlobals.h:293:21: error: ‘Message’ in namespace ‘ros’ does not name a type

and I checked RosGlobals.h, it says(start from Row 293):

 void Publish(const ros::Message&_msg){
      if(connected)
                    gf->publish(topic,(void*)&_msg);
    }

I did a little search and find this might be the difference between diamondback and electric, does anybody know how to solve this?

I try to use mit-ros-pkg (finger detection/minority report interface) under Ubunt11.10, ROS Electric, but it won't work. Since this package said in its doc that it would work under Ubuntu 10.04, ROS DiamondBack, So I installed these on another PC. But the package uses NI for kinect driver, and I can't download ni.rosinstall, the file does not exist anymore.

I think the finger detection feature is pretty useful, so I want to know how to use this package under electric & openni? or, if it's too hard to transfer it to electric, please tell me how to use it

I'm installing Kinect Demos for DiamondBack,follow the instruction here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/mit-ros-pkg/KinectDemos/dback

and I get stucked on step 5:

Check out the mit-ros-pkg code, as well as other needed libraries using rosinstall:

rosinstall ~/kinect_demos /opt/ros/diamondback kinect_demos.rosinstall

I got error msgs like this

Installing https://svn.csail.mit.edu/mit-ros-pkg/trunk  to /home/azureviolin/kinect_demos/mit-ros-pkg
Failed to checkout from url https://svn.csail.mit.edu/mit-ros-pkg/trunk : callback_ssl_server_trust_prompt required
ERROR: Failed to install tree '/home/azureviolin/kinect_demos/mit-ros-pkg'
 Checkout of https://svn.csail.mit.edu/mit-ros-pkg/trunk version  into /home/azureviolin/kinect_demos/mit-ros-pkg failed.

So my question is, how to neglect this callback_ssl_server_trust_prompt and check out the svn anyway? Or, how to get this trust so that I can check out the svn?

I searched and found this https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/ticket/3169

it says "mit-ros-pkg has a self-signed certificate, which means that SVN creates a prompt for checkout. You can override this in svn with '--non-interactive --trust-server-cert'. This doesn't seem like the right default option, but it would be nice to have an option in rosinstall that forces this. Otherwise we cannot rosdoc mit-ros-pkg w/o manually checking it out on every build machine "

but rosinstall doesn't have the option of "--non-interactive --trust-server-cert"

my OS is Ubuntu 10.04, with DiamondBack.

Thanks!

BTW How do I start a new line in comment?
