Same issue happened when i tried to launch it in humble.
The issue states that the executable 'occupancy_grid_node' is missing. Did you install Cartographer?
sudo apt install ros-foxy-cartographer ros-foxy-cartographer-ros
As reported by other users (https://github.com/DaniGarciaLopez/ros2_explorer/issues/5), you will encounter problems running this repository in humble or higher, the last supported version was foxy. It's on my to-do list to make the necessary changes, but I haven't found the time yet. PRs are welcome.
Yes i have installed ros-iron-cartographer and ros-iron-cartographer-ros, but they seem have changed name of the executables and possibly other stuff.
Unfortunately i am too new with ros to be able to help with PR.
That's right, the executable was renamed from occupancy_grid_node
to cartographer_occupancy_grid_node
I have just pushed the necessary changes to ensure compatibility with Humble and made several other improvements to the installation and launch processes. Here is the new way to launch it:
ros2 launch explorer_bringup explorer.launch.py map_name:=map10
I was able to start with above command in iron and managed to use wanderer explorer and created a map. When i try to use discoverer the robot didnt move. I would probably try in humble as well later. Thank you very much!
If discoverer is the only component that isn't working, it is likely related to Navigation2. Check for any warnings or errors in the console to identify the cause of the problem. Here is the migration guide to see if anything changed from humble to iron. I have no plans to support iron for now; most likely, I will port the repository to jazzy once all dependencies are updated. You're welcome!
Hello,
I am trying explorer on iron. It seems to fail when looking for occupancy grid:
