HI suzanawinat, this can happen sometimes, you can use teleop\_twist\_keyboard pkg to move the robot. Normally, you must to have it installed in your rosject. Here you can find more info about it: [teleop\_twist\_keyboard](http://wiki.ros.org/teleop_twist_keyboard) ---

Thank you for you ready reply!!! but still some issue here. 1 - I booked the robot 2 - I turned on the connection 3 - the cameras shows up (without the web-joystick… but as we said I can move the robot even without it) 4 - I open a terminal to launch the bridge using the folliwing comands: `source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash` `roslaunch load_params load_params.launch` `source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash` `ros2 run ros1_bridge parameter_bridge` 5 - the last comand never end his execution… so I decided to open a new terminal and run my own command to move the robot or launck my launch file for wall\_fallower… but nothing is working… =\> in the hole hour of renting I couldn’t move the robot… I don’t know what I am forgtting to do ---

Can you post a picture of the output of your last command in the CLI? What robot are you trying to control? ---

Hi @suzanawinat, with @roalgoal we just enabled the **web-joystick**. We had it disabled previously because it only worked with specific ROS Distros, but now it should work with ROS1 and ROS2. If you try again and it doesn’t show up, could you tell us which ROS Distro you are using to connect? ---
