rviz is not working #9

Open tiagopn opened 4 years ago

tiagopn commented 4 years ago

Rviz, at least using Gazebo, is not working. It is not able to load the robot model. If a run view_robot and then run view_model again, the robot appears but not sensor/actuator works (so the robot does not move or read from sensor data). Can you help me?

I think this problem is related to this #2 . The problem is that the scripts do not install necessary packages to make Turtlebot 2 move in Gazebo. Especially this post led me to a solution. The Solution is, probably not optimal but working, to install kobuki_desktop, kobuki_core, kobuki_msgs and kobuki packages. Check out melodic branch where applicable. Build your catkin workspace and it should work in Gazebo. I also had to install an additional Ubuntu package pyqt5-dev-tools for the catkin build to finish.

Nice! I managed to put rviz to work by not only installing the above packages but also the turtlebot_interactions package and I also needed to change the code from the view_model.launcher by copying it from the kobuki_desktop package.

However, the Navigation is not working, namely the mapping demo and amcl demo. Did anyone manage to put it working?
