Connection refused in starting master_discovery_fkie #74

Dear sir/madam,

Hi, I am currently using the multimaster_fkie to setup the intercommunication between several robots, and some problems occurred in launching the multimaster_fkie package.

The software environment is: Ubuntu 16.04 + ROS kinetic + multimaster_fkie kinetic-devel branch. The hardware setup is described as follows: we use a TPlink router to build up a wireless network, and each robot is equipped with a wireless interface card (DLink) and connected to the router.

We followed exactly the procedure as described in the section 3 of the document: http://www.iri.upc.edu/files/scidoc/1607-Multi-master-ROS-systems.pdf. Each robot can ping 244.0.0.1 successfully, but the package cannot be launched and the error message is shown below. Could you kindly advise on how to proceed? Is it related with our hardware setting or software configuration? We also tried parameter settings like interface, send_mcast and robot_hosts but they didn't help. Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks and regards Jie

Hello Jie,

I get the same error if roscore is not running. If you try to start _masterdiscovery without passed arguments you will see the warning about not running ROS master. It seems to be an unhandled error in ROS.

Dear Mr. Atiderko,

Thanks for your reply. We had run roscore before launching multimaster fkie package, so roscore is not the cause for our problem. It's worthy to mention that things turned out to work successfully if we equip our robots with computers with integrated wireless interface cards. Hence the problem should be related with the standalone wireless interface cards.

Regards Jie
