Eash 0 Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) A new issue has risen. The issue is running the example programs, as none of the example programs work even after using the "enable" command. $ rosrun intera_interface enable_robot.py -e For example the " rosrun intera_examples joint_torque_springs.py " example does not move the robot to a "neutral pose" or even the " rosrun intera_examples camera_display.py " the terminal returns with splay.py Initializing node...

Do you know why this happening? Edited January 17, 2017 by Eash clarification Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eash 0 Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) I am not too sure what the problem was, however, I connected the robot via router connection (as I previously had it as a direct connection) and enabled auto ethernet (in Unbuntu) and the examples seem to work now.

Brian Benoit 0 Posted January 20, 2017 That's great Eash. Our experience on this end has shown that the router connection is the easiest and most straight forward way of connecting your robot to the work station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sina 0 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Hey, i'm new to ros sdk. i have a problem with the "enable". when i use the command:[ $ rosrun intera_interface enable_robot.py -e ] i get the error: package 'intera-interface' not found. Did i fotgot something? It is probably only a trifle. Edited July 19, 2017 by sina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian McMahon 14 Posted July 21, 2017 Hi Sina, Make sure you have followed the instructions from the workstation setup guide: http://sdk.rethinkrobotics.com/intera/Workstation_Setup#Install_Intera_Robot_SDK After you've downloaded all the SDK packages, run catkin_make and then re-source your environment by invoking ./intera.sh again. That will give you access to the intera_interface module. Hope this helps! ~ Ian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sina 0 Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Hi Ian, thanks for your help! I followed the instructions and have checked everything again. Another problem is i can't set the Fixed Frame as /base. I get this error: Fixed Frame No ft data. Actual error: Fixed Frame [base] does not exist. The enable_robot works now and the example programm run as well without an error message but sawyer does not move. Do you have any idea?

StuweXY 0 Posted July 28, 2017 Hi Sina, I stumbled upon this while learning tf. Maybe it can solve your problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sina 0 Posted August 1, 2017 Hi StuweXY, unfortunately i could not solve my problem yet. I have run the command roswtf and get the following error: ERROR The following nodes should be connected but aren't: /rviz_1501573816403560019->/rosout (/rosout) /base_to_world->/rviz_1501573816403560019 (/tf_static) /robot_ref_publisher->/rviz_1501573816403560019 (/tf) /ref_base_to_world->/rviz_1501573816403560019 (/tf_static) /robot_state_publisher->/rviz_1501573816403560019 (/tf) Does anyone else have an idea? -- Thanks!

aykut 0 Posted January 12, 2018 I'm having the following issue as well although the robot and the PC are connected via a router with auto ethernet enabled. What else might cause this?

Shiwei Wang 1 Posted September 7, 2018 Hi Sina and Aykut, After you catkin_make the software and ./intera.sh command, can you try the command below: rostopic echo /robot/joint_states Are you able to get the joint state? -Shiwei Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arachana Dash 0 Posted November 9, 2018 I get the joint states, but the Time out error still exists. I cant seem to understand the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
