When using simExtROS_enablePublisher with topic='/tf' and specifying an auxString argument such as "child%parent" broadcasted frames are renamed. This is useful to match the configuration on the real robot, and especially useful when using multiple instances of the same robot (using tf_pre...

The problem is that the unity launcher will not spawn a login shell, so it will not source your .bashrc (which is the shell initialization file where you usually load ros stuff, like sourcing /opt/ros/DISTRO/setup.bash). Since I need ROS, as a workaround for this, I created a launcher (put this in v...

Nope, also the Mesa SR4000 sensor gives me a black depth image (but RGB image is OK) when running in a virtual machine. Note: I think I erroneously assumed it was a 3.1.0->3.1.2 regression, because it worked on my lab pc with ubuntu 13.04 and vrep 3.1.0, but the same scene running on virtual machine...

Nope, I didn't solve it.

I tried all six combinations of {offscreen surface, invisible window, visible window} x {Qt, non Qt}, but none of them fixed the issue.

It seems a problem with the graphics driver when running ubuntu in a virtual machine (I updated topic title accordingly).

It seems the RGB information of a vision sensor is there, but the depth information is not.
(note: I'm running in a virtual machine, Ubuntu 14.04)

As a double check can you suggest me a scene where the depth sensor is demoed so that I'm sure to be testing it properly?

I'm using V-REP 3.1.2 linux 64-bit, and I'm unable to get correct readings from the provided SICK S300 sensor. It used to work in 3.1.0, but in 3.1.2, if you set script parameter showLaserSegments=true, you'll see that laser segments look like if they are "inside" the sensor mesh. Screensh...

Here is what I do: simulation now is running: $ rosservice list | grep simRosSt.*Simulation /vrep/simRosStartSimulation /vrep/simRosStopSimulation $ services are there... let's stop the simulation: $ rosservice call /vrep/simRosStopSimulation "{}" result: 1 $ now I wait until the /vrep/inf...

I'm running V-REP headless for simulating my robot in ROS. I sometimes need to restart the simulation (e.g. the robot falls off the simulation scene :D) but once I stop the simulation with /vrep/simRosStopSimulation, no ros services for controlling V-REP are available anymore, so it is not possible ...

Also, lowering the masses (I've changed them to 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 respectivelly) seems to help a bit.
However the effect never goes away (both in Bullet and ODE).
