I'm having problems with RosInterface for VREP
Posted: 21 Oct 2019, 20:40
I am still very new to ROS.
So, I am sure I am doing something fundamentally wrong when setting these two to work together.
First, I have a windows machine. So, that's how I installed V-REP earlier in the year.
I created a robot model in Fusion360 and exported it out and into V-REP.
I setup all the joints, etc.
I have Anaconda3 on my machine and was able thru Spyder to interact with the model and make it move.
So now, I wanted to include ROS, so...
For ROS, I used the windows subsystem for linux/ubuntu 18.04.
I used the linux subsystem to install ROS melodic.
Then, I tried to follow the procedures on the github page for the RosInterface.
https://github.com/CoppeliaRobotics/v_r ... sInterface
I was able to set up my vrep_ws and perform the catkin build.
Everything was looking great.
So, now I just need to launch V-REP the correct way and make sure the RosInterface is loaded during start up.
I have roscore started. Opened another terminal and successfully launched V-REP, but no mention of RosInterface, no errors, nothing.
I looked back into vrep_ws folders and found libv_repExtRosInterface.so.
So, I copied it into the V-REP3 folder, but still, no go. Tried coping it into V-REP3/V-REP_PRO_EDU folder, too. Still no go.
Any thought or ideas? Thanks in advance.
