Topic names overridden with multiple robots #7

Closed micpalmia closed 10 years ago

The topic namespace /youbot is used. The namespace should be set to be the name of the robot as passed from command line.

As a side problem, the teleop program will have to receive the robot name as a parameter.

Error is

[ERROR] [1379063684.195716525, 0.422000000]: Tried to advertise a service that is already advertised in this node [/youbot/controller_manager/reload_controller_libraries]

It is impossible to solve this issue in Groovy at the moment, as the namespace functionality of the launch files is commented out in the source ROS code. According to this question and answer, it's possible to solve the issue in hydro.

I'll solve as soon as I switch to ROS Hydro.

Just to let you know, I'm successfully running this package with Hydro.

Wonderful, didn't want to bother you sending an email. I'm making the switch right now.
