ROS2 install not working on RPI Ubuntu 20.04 #208

Closed somervda closed 3 years ago

somervda commented 3 years ago

I have done two installs , one on a Raspberry PI 4 running Ubuntu 20.04 and an identical ROS2 install on a i386 machine. The joy_node is working on the i386 ROS2 but does not seem to connect to the joystick on the RPI . I am using the same joystick controller.

I went though the process of installing the joy package

sudo apt install ros-foxy-joy

And could see my joystick active, on both installs, on /dev/input/js0 using a

jstest /dev/input/js0

and run the joy_node

ros2 run joy joy_node --ros-args -p device_name:=/dev/input/js0

On the i386 install the joy_node reports see in the joystick and reports as well as publishing /joy messages

[INFO] [1617369568.897123043] [joy_node]: Opened joystick: Microsoft X-Box 360 pad. deadzone: 0.050000

On the RPI I dont see any [INFO] message from the joy_node and no /joy messages are produced.

BTW: Im guessing the problem may be at the os level on the i386 the lsusb looks like this

on the RPI it looks like this (joystick details are not being identified/displayed for device #8)

I've encountered the same problem.

How about the joy_linux_node? It worked in my environment.
