Hi,

I can’t find my_gurdy_description package mentioned in the notes.

I tried roscd my_gurdy_description, but with no luck

Thank you

Hi, Welcome to RobotIgniteAcademy!

The package that you have to get the meshes from and so on, is gurdy_description, which is in /home/simulations/public_sim_ws/src/all/gurdy/gurdy_description.

The package my_gurdy_description is the one that YOU have to create and place everything there.

Hi,
I have problems importing/copying the gurdy meshes.

user:~/catkin_ws/src/my_gurdy_description/urdf$ roscd
user:~/catkin_ws/devel$ cd ..
user:~/catkin_ws$ source devel/setup.bash
user:~/catkin_ws$ rospack profile

cp: cannot stat './models/gurdy/meshes/gurdy_head_v2.dae': No such file or directory

I followed the instructions but it seems the gurdy package is missing?
Thank you in advance!

This is your problem, you go to my_gurdy_description, not gurdy_description

The notebook says:
roscd gurdy_description

So you basically tried to copy a file from your own package to your own package, but that file doesnt exist there.
