ROS Basics in 5 Days (C++) Launching Issues

Hello all,

In Unit 1 Example 1.7 I consistently get the error:

ERROR: cannot launch node of type [turtlebot_teleop/turtlebot_teleop_key]: Cannot locate node of type [turtlebot_teleop_key] in package [turtlebot_teleop]. Make sure file exists in package path and permission is set to executable (chmod +x)

when doing the roslaunch step. As far as I can tell I followed the instructions to a t and didn’t do anything that would cause this sort of permission issues.

Any guesses as to how to fix this issue?

Thank you,
Ryan

Hi,

The turtlebot_teleop package should come preinstalled in your course environment. It actually works with just the command

roslaunch turtlebot_teleop keyboard_teleop.launch

Make sure youre environment is sourced correctly with

source /home/simulations/public_sim_ws/devel/setup.bash
source /home/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash

Hey Roal,

Thank you for your response. It didn’t actually solve the issue but I figured it out.

I hadn’t correctly done the launch file for that step, which lead to the roslaunch looking for local turtlebot files that weren’t actually included within the package sources.

Did you try closing the course and starting it again? Please post more information about your issue so I know how to help.
