@Mdbirley Hi. @Mdbirley . Thank you for your questions.

Please refer to the link Install Dependent Packages on TurtleBot PC and reinstall the turtlebot3 package.

Thank you.

[Mdbirley]

hi did as you asked the 3 git clones were already installed also it could not locate the 2 ros packages I was applying the commands to the TurtleBot raspberry pi

I have been trying to get this working all weekend and it is driving me nuts

the turtlebot moves when I use the game controller Ros on my PC seems to be working ok. I can call turtle sim and make it drive around

I know that I need to call rescore in a laptop remote pc window

however then I get confused.

when I run roslaunch…………robot.launch from the remote PC I get error when I ssh into the raspberry pi it executes

however then subsequent commands throw errors.

let me know what info you require

Warmest Regards

Hi. again. :)

It seems like an error that occurs when running roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_remote.launch on the PC.

Please refer to the link below turtlebot3_remote.launch

Have you ever run roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_remote.launch?

If so, you are supposed to type TB3_MODEL. $ export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi

Please Give it a try and let me know the result. Thank you.

Hi I now have the instructions working well up to the end of bring it up

I am now trying to run Move with Interactive Makers and I get this message

[ WARN] [1605664176.416393575]: The STL file 'package://turtlebot3_description/meshes/bases/waffle_pi_base.stl' is malformed.

Trying to interpret it as a binary STL file instead.

I seems to get alog of errors or warnings in Rviz

also when I get into RViz I loose teleop so I can not drive the robot and see the model move

or make the image move and see the physical robot wheels move

I am running the following

max@HP430:~$roscore

from the TB frame max@HP430:~$ roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_remote.launch

max@HP430:~$ export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi

max@HP430:~$ roslaunch turtlebot3_example interactive_markers.launch

max@HP430:~$ rosrun rviz rviz -d rospack find turtlebot3_example/rviz/turtlebot3_interactive.rviz

can I also use this to get some movement?

max@HP430:~$ roslaunch turtlebot3_teleop turtlebot3_teleop_key.launch regards

Eventhough I have the interactive markers working and I am at last controlling the bot from Ross I still get the error message

any thoughts

I am trying to put together my own complete instructions for each of your examples. Can you help me with the basic examples for the Point operation and Patrol as I think I need a RVIZ command Please remember at first us beginners need every instruction otherwise it fails

Also is there a log file stored in one place that I can send so you can trouble shoot the problem?

By the way the you tube videos are too short, they need a voice over, the commands are entered too fast, you can not read the commands easily

regards

Bringup Example

roscore $ roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_robot.launch

Hi I do not have the standard lidar that comes with the turtlebot kit I have the rplidar A1.

Can you help me with the hollowing instruction as they are not working

If I use the standard bringup commands then the lidar does not spin

If I uses the commands below without the bring up then the command is not recognised

getting this working will add a lot of functionality to the turtlebot

regards

How to build rplidar ros package

1) Clone this project to your catkin's workspace src folder 2) Running catkin_make to build rplidarNode and rplidarNodeClient

How to run rplidar ros package

There're two ways to run rplidar ros package

I. Run rplidar node and view in the rviz

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar.launch (for RPLIDAR A1/A2) , roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_a3.launch (for RPLIDAR A3) or roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_s1.launch (for RPLIDAR S1)

You should see rplidar's scan result in the rviz.

II. Run rplidar node and view using test application

roslaunch rplidar_ros rplidar.launch (for RPLIDAR A1/A2) , roslaunch rplidar_ros rplidar_a3.launch (for RPLIDAR A3) or roslaunch rplidar_ros rplidar_s1.launch (for RPLIDAR S1)

rosrun rplidar_ros rplidarNodeClient

You should see rplidar's scan result in the console

Notice: the different is serial_baudrate between A1/A2 and A3/S1

RPLidar frame

RPLidar frame must be broadcasted according to picture shown in rplidar-frame.png

Hi. again. :)

It seems like an error that occurs when running roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_remote.launch on the PC.

Please refer to the link below turtlebot3_remote.launch https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3/blob/ba10294ccb02891cd6af456bd4662e77813e3245/turtlebot3_bringup/launch/turtlebot3_remote.launch#L5 Have you ever run roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_remote.launch?

If so, you are supposed to type TB3_MODEL. $ export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle_pi

Please Give it a try and let me know the result. Thank you.

Hi @Mdbirley , Unfortunately, we haven't tested RPLIDAR A1. Have you successfully launched and get the lidar data from given instruction from rplidar ros wiki page? If you are getting the data from Raspberry Pi, you don't need to launch turtlebot3_lidar.launch in the turtlebot3_robot.launch, but you should replace the launch file below to the one that launches RPLIDAR A1. https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3/blob/master/turtlebot3_bringup/launch/turtlebot3_robot.launch#L8 You might get more useful information from ROS Answers for customizing TurtleBot3. Thank you.

Hi

My turtlebot3 waffle is working well and I appreciate the work you guys have done to make this happen.

Now I want to make another larger robot and I have a few questions for you. This robot will have large wheels say 6 inch and be able to drive all around my house without having problems with the carpet like the waffle does

Can you recommend a motor controller and motor that can take 6 inch wheels that have good encoders built in that can be used.

The laptop I use for the TurtleBot3 has ubuntu 16.04 loaded on it with ros kinetic The raspberry pi 3B+ is set up with ubuntu 16.04 and kinetic as well

Regarding the releases of ubuntu and ros as time has moved on and I am making a larger robot should I use later releases of ubuntu and ros or stay with the 16.04 and kinetic versions as I know they work?

Also do the versions on the remote laptop and raspberry pi 3B+ (SBC) of ubuntu and ros need to be the same or can they be different ? this would be like, I keep ubuntu 16.04 on the laptop and update the raspberry pi to sat 18.04 or 21.1. Or must they be the same on both

regards Max

Hi @Mdbirley

Since your last inquiry is not relevant to the topic of this thread, I've referred it in a new thread that I created #802 Please continue the discussion in that thread. Thank you.
