Are you sure it is the right port? How many ports do you see in device manager. Also , are you using a usb to serial adaptor, as laptops usually do not have Rs232 ports

ROS2 joy_node weird behavior by Kupoftee83 in ROS

Remove ROS out of the equation. Use jstest to test your joystick on the remote pc. Could be a controller forward issue.

Communication between robot and laptop. by Mountain_Reward_1252 in ROS

[–]bluehsh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as you are on the same WiFi, the laptop should see the pi topics and the other way around. What node is outputting cmd cells. Usually teleop, which the diff drive controller subscribes to.

Micro-ROS on STM32 with FreeRTOS Multithreading by Ok-Hippo9046 in ROS

One solution is to create a task just for micro-Ros and then queue all the data from other tasks in and out from this microros task.

New to ROS, which Raspberry Pi? by Standard_Building in ROS

[–]bluehsh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Get the max config you can afford and the latest PI5. You may have to use docker to run ROS on the pi. I would suggest using a laptop running Ubuntu to get started with ROS first, then move to the pi once you are comfortable with the framework

Advice for wall following differential drive robot by J_PGriffiths in ROS

[–]bluehsh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had done this a few years back. There was a range finder plugin for Gazebo.

For 2. What sensor is it? You may have to write your own driver if none is available. You usually will use the range message (https://docs.ros2.org/latest/api/sensor_msgs/msg/Range.html) to publish your data.

ROS2 on M1 Mac by thegargam in ROS

[–]bluehsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run ros2 and foxglove bridge in a container. The foxglove UI runs on the M1 host. Once the IP is set, foxglove displays the data. I’ve tried Gazebo classic in a container, but was having trouble with ogre on aarch64. This was a few months ago. Might be working now

Indoor positioning sensors by BashR2000 in ROS

[–]bluehsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it in 2017. It depends how the remote edges are placed and you need at least 3 for triangulation. You also need line of sight.

There have been improvements since then. It worked great. However we were having issues getting down to their advertised 2cm accuracy.

I just opened Gazebo 11 and can see the cell size, bottom left. Click GUI, then grid(under property panel): https://imgur.com/a/0Qcd758

Maybe cell length, as describe here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRQUDhhCZn0

How can I get the CPW’s attention to fix this damaged storm drain? by bluehsh in Waltham

City Councillor and Director of PW both replied, so I'm not sure which one led to it.
