All the values are 0 so the Husky won't move. Try setting linear x to 0.1.

I am trying to use an Xbee series 1 pro to communicate from an arduino to a laptop. I was planning on using the rosserial_xbee but the stack was removed from the metapackage. Is there anyway to use the xbee for communication?

I get the following error when I try to use an Arduino to publish data from an IMU:

Any ideas what would cause this error? Thank you in advanced.

Have you checked this out?

Can you ping both ways by hostname?

Also, try switching which port is used.

Contacting us would be best. As a note, ethernet ports that are bridged shouldn't get IP address. However, the way the

Do you have feedback? PWM isn't velocity control.

Hi rsmitha, can you mark the question as answered? Angular X is the robot rolling which both the Husky and Jackal cannot do. They are able to drive forward which is linear x and rotate which is angular z. Try to avoid posting comments as answers.

The topic is imu/data not imu_data.

Would strongly advice against that, use mavros.

Are you running from source or debs?

It will eventually.

I am trying to use rosserial on Raspbian using ROS Groovy. I am trying to run rosrun rosserial_python serial_node.py /dev/ttyACM0 but I get this error [ERROR] [WallTime: 1363226987.379253] Tried to publish before configured, topic id 125. I compile the code on an Ubuntu 12.04 laptop and can get it to run on the Ubuntu machine but as soon as I plug it into the Raspberry Pi, I get that error. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Here is an example I did a while ago

Hi John,

We are currently working on kinetic release for the Husky, there is no ISO currently but rather a general Kinetic iso. In addition, there is a kinetic-devel that works minus the microstrain imu option. For kinetic, we made the husky a changes to the husky metapackakge layout so please blacklist desktop packages to avoid installing the desktop environment. We do hope to have a full release soon.

Make sure you have dialout access. Try sudo chmod 766 /dev/YOURPORT. A colleague of mine had a similar issue.

Did this turtlebot come with an Astra sensor?

This bug was fixed a while ago but never bloomed here. As for the nav goal, are just running gmapping or the gmpapping demo? move_base is used to move the robot.

Try the shadow-fixed repos.

Thanks for posting this Ashwin.

Airuno2L, did you also get a PS4 controller?

Ashwin, did you get a chance to try re-pairing it with ds4drv-pair?

Does the light flash when you press the PS button? If not, try charging the controller. The sixad is only for PS3 controllers and should not be installed for a Jackal using the PS3 controller. If you believe that it lost its paring you can run ds4drv-pair which should repair it. All controllers are paired and tested prior to shipping the Jackal.

Did you receive it with a PS3 or PS4 controller?
