2015-04-23 03:25:34 -0500 | marked best answer | Turtlebot Kinect Arm Calibration display not working properly I am using the turtlebot with Fuerte and Ubuntu 12.04 Precise and I am trying to run the arm kinect calibration tutorial using an off-board kinect. I follow the tutorial precisely, but when I launch the calibration, only an empty window appears, with no image inside. Image processing is clearly taking place, because I can open the kinect camera in rviz, and check the that the checkerboard is being seen properly. When placed correctly, the calibration attempts to proceed, asking me to move the tip of the gripper to point 1, but still no image appears from the calibration_kinect_checkerboard topic, and I have no way of completing the calibration without the numbered overlay. In addition, once I place the checkerboard properly and it recognizes an image, the window changes size, turns from grey to black and displays small firefox symbols along the edge. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or know how to go about fixing it? |

2014-01-28 17:25:11 -0500 | marked best answer | Turtlebot electric service does not start properly I am running electric on my turtlebot, and when the turtlebot laptop boots up, the turtlebot service starts, but the dashboard remains grey, with no input from the turtlebot. The only way I can get the turtlebot to do something is to stop the service and roslaunch something like minimal.launch or the teleoperation stack. Any ideas as to why the service might not be doing anything at the beginning? I have tried waiting up to 15 minutes for it to start up properly, with no results. Restarting the service does not work either, it just produces the same stale result on the dashboard. This is a followup to this post: http://answers.ros.org/question/3743/turtlebot-restarting-continuously which I thought fixed my problems, but I have not been able to duplicate the result of electric starting the turtlebot correctly after that initial success. The problem still exists, and this is my current launch file: |

2014-01-28 17:23:09 -0500 | marked best answer | File structure question about ROS I am installing a turtlebot arm onto my turtlebot and one of the instructions in the tutorial is : Setting up the URDF Next, we have to set up the TurtleBot's hardware description file (URDF) to include the arm. This is done through the TurtleBot bringup script in /etc/ros/turtlebot. On the TurtleBot, edit /etc/ros/turtlebot/bringup.launch in your favorite text editor and change it to resemble this: The line tells the TurtleBot to use the urdf that includes the arm from the turtlebot_arm_description package. However, my /etc directory does not contain a ros folder. There is a ros folder within my /opt file that has a subdirectory electric/stacks/turtlebot/turtlebot_bringup which contains the following files and folders: Files:
app_manager.launch
CMakeLists.txt
kinect.launch
Makefile
minimal.launch
ROS_NOBUILD Folders: upstart bin config mock_apps scripts Does anyone have an idea which file I should be modifying? Thanks! |
2014-01-28 17:23:07 -0500 | marked best answer | Trying to use PyPose to control turtlebot arm Hello! I am trying to use the program PyPose to control the turtlebot arm but I am running into a series of weird errors as I use it. I have the computer plugged into the ArbotiX board via a USB - Serial TTL cable, and the board is then wired into the arm correctly as per the tutorial instructions. When I run PyPose and try to capture a pose, it says it cannot read any of the 5 servos, but when I move the sliders and hit "set" the arm moves in a fast and jerky manner to a relatively random position. It does not slow down if I increase the delta-T, and the position it moves to is only slightly related to the position of the sliders. Also, all the servos move during the motion, even if only one of the sliders was changed. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I am happy to provide more information, but do not know what else would be useful! Edit: I am trying to compile the pypose.pde sketch, but I am getting the following error: The specific part of the math.h file in question is: All of my settings in the Arduino environment are correct (board type, serial port). Do you have any idea how to fix this error? I never modified the math.h file after downloading it (other than the comment indicating which line was 426 for this post). Thank you very much! I have also tried uploading the program directly using a terminal command: Which I put together from reading various forums. It produces the following message: (more) |

In addition to this, I am getting the following error upon trying to run the next step, to install the turtlebot_arm software. I don't know if this is because of the previous problem or if that is it's own problem. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you very much! Thank you very much!

2014-01-28 17:22:58 -0500 | marked best answer | Upgrading turtlebot to electric Hello! I have a turtlebot that I am trying to upgrade to electric so that I can use the turtlebot arm, and I am wondering if there is any info on how to go about doing that. I have installed electric on it experimentally, but do I need to go through reinstalling all the turtlebot software? Does the entire OS need to be reinstalled? I saw the turotial pages for upgrading turtlebot to electric, but they appear to be mostly missing and claim that the iso on the page is not correct yet. Thank you very much! |
2014-01-28 17:22:42 -0500 | marked best answer | TurtleBot Calibration -- continuous stream of warnings and errors I am running the turtlebot calibration procedure for my turtlebot and I am getting a long list of scrolling errors and process restarts when I run the command: roslaunch turtlebot_calibration calibrate.launch I have run this before and it has worked, but now I am getting a long stream of the following. I also have a weird error that when I run any ros packages the green power light on the create turns off... but it runs anyway (such as teleop or calibrate). Namely the light turns off, the diagnostic pane says power system error, but the breaker is lit up green and the dashboard shows it to be in full mode and it responds to keyboard commands. The error I get when running calibrate.launch is below: (more) |
2014-01-28 17:22:41 -0500 | marked best answer | TurtleBot -- Bad Gyro Calibration I have been running the SLAM map building tutorial with the turtlebot and I have been having a problem where the turtlebot image in Rviz does not rotate nearly as much as the actual real life turtlebot. This causes the map that is being created to be completely wrong, as the turtlebot is not putting the data it finds in the right place on the map. I have run the gyro and odometer calibration and have set the rosparams to the proper values. I am also getting an error in Rviz under the robot model: rear_wheel_link No transform from [rear_wheel_link] to [/map] and a warning under the path (path) and pose array (pose array) that says "no messages received" as a further error, my turtlebot dashboard diagnostics is giving me an error: Full name: /Sensors/Gyro Sensor Component: Gyro Sensor Hardware ID: Level: Error Message: Bad Gyro Calibration Gyro Enabled: True Raw Gyro Rate: 5 Calibration Offset: 5 Calibration Buffer: [5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 ...

2014-01-28 17:22:39 -0500 | marked best answer | Walltimer destroyed immediately after creation Hi! I've been using turtlebot software and things are generally working well for me, but I get a recurring warning often when I am running programs. The warning is about a Walltimer that is destroyed immediately after creation. I have not seen this warning in the tutorials I have been reading. Also, I wonder why there is often a lot more text generated on my screen and the process seems to restart several times before working. The output is below: turtlebot@turtlebot-laptop:~$ roslaunch turtlebot_bringup kinect.launch ... logging to /home/turtlebot/.ros/log/96cb21b2-ce78-11e0-89ae-485d607f80f5/roslaunch-turtlebot-laptop-616.log Checking log directory for disk usage.
