Discussion - Running ros2_control on a real robot (Making a Mobile Robot Pt 13)

glassTransition · 31 May 2024 14:52

I’ve been banging on this for some time and would appreciate any help that someone can offer. I’ve followed the update instructions for Humble to the best of my ability and can run everything in the simulated environment. The error comes when I try to run on the real robot. I get this error:

I build 4 wheel differential drive whit this tutorial, but i have problem with arduino diff drive because not supported for 4 wheel, can anyone help me?

Hi , can some one please help me out with this. Im getting this output when i run the launch_robot.launch.py (using the humble branch along with buzzology repo)

i did a topic echo and it seems like my joystick is sending input and the bot is receiving the necessary twist msg . But the bot doesn’t move can someone please help me out with this??

Hello sir,

Thank you for the great tutorials.

I am using raspberry pi 5 model and therefore I have install Ubuntu 24.04 and ROS2 rolling in my Pi. I am currently in “Using ros2_control to drive our robot” video and up to now it’s all good.

P.S. I had to go through the motor driver code in arduino nano and found out that whenever I give a motor value ( o 255 255), the corresponding pins in the arduino nano will be high for a moment and again go back to 0. Therefore I commented out line 360 to 363 on ROSArduinoBridge code. After that it worked as expected. That is something I wanted to tell if someone having a same issue as me.

When I try to build the diffdrive_arduino package I got an issue about not having base_interface.hpp in hardware interface. When I read this discussion this is because I am using a new version of ROS2. Therefore I use this link to install diffdrive_arduino package : GitHub - RedstoneGithub/diffdrive_arduino: A simple ROS Control Hardware Interface for differential drive control of robot whose motors are connected via an Arduino (or similar microcontroller). as someone mention in the discussion and it built successfully.

The problem comes when I try to control it using teleop twist keyboard.
When I launch the launhc_robot.launch.py file, it launched successfully in Pi. Then after I run teleop twist keyboard in my dev machine I got the following error.

[rcutils|error_handling.c:108] rcutils_set_error_state()
This error state is being overwritten:
‘Fast CDR exception deserializing message of type rmw_dds_common::msg::dds_::ParticipantEntitiesInfo_., at ./src/type_support_common.cpp:118’
with this new error message:
‘‘Bad alloc’ exception deserializing message of type rmw_dds_common::msg::dds_::ParticipantEntitiesInfo_., at ./src/type_support_common.cpp:123’
rcutils_reset_error() should be called after error handling to avoid this.

I have no idea what cause this error. If someone could help me out, I really appreciate it.

Thank you

hi
i am using ros2 humble can anyone tell me if there is any diff drive arduino hardware interface available for ros2 humble?

Sirio_Pastori · 1 August 2024 13:21

I have an issue with the diffdrive_arduino. I want to use the servo from the Arduino firmware alongside the normal motor control provided by the ROS package, but the ROS package doesn’t support servo control. How can I integrate servo control while still using the motor functions from ROS?

My interpretation would be that it’s trying to interpret the urdf file as a yaml file and can’t because of the format. However, trying the suggestion of wrapping it as a string doesn’t work. Why is this happening? Thanks in advance.
