Yes, rosrun rviz rviz after setting param true. What I do is,run as above, quickly set the topic, then run the bag again and the topic will show as expected inside rviz. You have a bag that was recorded for 2s - dont set the time and you can record as long as you like: rosbag record -O subset /topic

I must be doing something wrong - I cant find where the file is saved? or is it just an oversight of mine that its not saving?

Weell in that case: http://www.southafrica.info/travel/advice/saenglish.htm#.Uvh9Gvjzsak - you will notice that Ubuntu is also described..

This isnt an answer - its a hope that this question will be bumped again - When you do a $ rosrun pcl_ros pointcloud_to_pcd input:=/velodyne_points you get a bunch of .pcd's describing the scene.

Is there a simple way of combining all of these (say 10s worth) of pcd files?

So - I find that running rosmake packagename --pre-clean helps sometimes when there have been errors, what would be nice is being able to skip certain dependencies that you know compile (and take the longest) and still use --pre-clean..

Thats it :) thank you.. I tried converting your comment to answer - but wasnt able to.. perhaps admin did the rest..

@Wolf - you biscuit - that was it.. -- wait didnt work - had to use the sleep command for the service calls to complete - in hindsight I should have seen this.. thank you!

I dont get an error - this runs without a problem - but does not execute all the command (specifically the service call to /wam/cart_move)

wam/cart_move - type wam_srvs/CartPosMove; float32[3] position ---; (http://code.google.com/p/gwam-ros-pkg/wiki/GWAMPackagewam_node); (http://code.google.com/p/gwam-ros-pkg/source/browse/trunk/wam/wam_common/wam_srvs/srv/CartPosMove.srv?spec=svn203&r=86)

It's a typical .sh script: #! /bin/bash rosservice call /bhand/open_spread rosservice call /wam/cart_move "position: - 0 - 0 - 0.5" rosservice call /wam/cart_move "position: - 0.87 - -0.15 - -0.45"

Hi,

I am trying to use bash to execute a bunch of rosservice calls, one after the other. Some work but the ones that ask for position ones don't:

rosservice call /wam/cart_move "position: - 0
- 0
- 0.5"

They work if I put them in terminal no problem, but I cannot bash call them.. Any suggestions as to why this my be the case?

Update: 21 Jan - @Wolf saved the day - had to include sleep command to allow the service to run.. Thank you ros answers!

You biscuit - I have been looking everywhere and this solved it.. unreal..

I have had similar problems before. The killall XnSensorServer typically works if you cant get your openni device running a second time (kinect or asus) but the "No devices connected.... waiting for devices to be connected" for me was a permissions issue with the usb port. So find the bus port that your camera is connected to and make sure that it has read write permissions.

Edit: Solved!! I had to reinstall my libopenni - which I did through synaptic - now I dont get the error and I dont have to kill XnSensorServer every time I restart.

This really looks like the answer.. but why it is not working for me - I do not know.. had to go with @yygyt
