Having some problems getting going #2

Open Sian88 opened 1 year ago

Hi William, I am a student with USW working on the MX Car Kit. I am trying to get things going but having some trouble with the instructions.

When trying to run the command: "roslaunch mxck_run mxck_run.launch" I get the response: "RLException: [mxck_run.launch is neither a launch file in package [mxck_run] nor is [mxck_run] a launch file name The traceback for the exception was written to the log file"

I was hoping you could advise on this - I may well be doing something incorrectly, or there may be an issue? Thanks, Sian

Hi Sian, it sounds like the file is not known to ROS. You probably have to execute source devel/setup.bash to set the environment variables. Best regards, William.

I tried the source devel/setup.bash but it didn't seem to solve the issue unfortunately - I am back on campus tomorrow and will give it another try. Is there anything else you might be able to suggest if that's not resolving the issue?

I would run cakin_make again, then source devel/setup.bash and then use rospack list-names to see if the package is visible. Or maybe you have to make the file executable with sudo chmod +x ./filepath.

The catkin_make command is throwing back an error saying the source directory "/catkin_ws/mxck_hw/src" does not exist. I have checked the list-names and 'roslaunch' is there, however I am not seeing the mxck_run in that list. It is located under: 'catkin_ws/src' though. I updated permissions, tried to run 'catkin_make' again but still having the same problems (even after running the 'catkin_make' and 'source devel/setup.bash' )

Hi Sian, I would suggest that we solve the problem in a short Teams meeting. Write me at william.engel@mdynamix.de and we will arrange a meeting.
