[Bug]: Can't run the tutorial commands of xslocobot description

Dorteel commented 2 years ago

What happened?

Hello!

I'm trying to follow the LoCoBot Descriptions tutorials described in the Documentation, but when trying the first command I get an error in RViz saying that the transforms are missing. I'm running it on a locobot_wx250s.

Robot Model

locobot_wx250s

Operating System

Ubuntu 20.04

Steps To Reproduce

I ssh-d into the robot and just ran roslaunch interbotix_xslocobot_descriptions xslocobot_description.launch robot_model:=locobot_wx200 use_joint_pub_gui:=true

Relevant log output

locobot@locobot:~$ roslaunch interbotix_xslocobot_descriptions xslocobot_description.launch robot_model:=locobot_wx250s use_joint_pub_gui:=true

I also get the same error when running the very first "quickstart" command on my remote computer: roslaunch interbotix_xslocobot_descriptions remote_view.launch

Hi @Dorteel. Could you provide the following:

The Global Status warning
The full text of any of the errors under the RobotModel display
Is the joint_state_pub_gui publishing to the /locobot_wx250s/joint_states topic properly?
Did you change any of the default networking settings on the robot or your remote computer?

Hi @LSinterbotix, Thanks for the quick reply! When I started the robot this morning and ran the same script everything worked fine.

I found out that the issue was that when Gazebo crashed I didn't restart roscore and all the topics stayed registered even though the nodes weren't active anymore. Restarting roscore solved the issue.
