marathon_gui shows Ready; display = 2
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Launching HOST_IP=***.***.***.*** roslaunch marathon_touch_gui marathon_gui_dependencies.launch and going to _..**.**_:8090 just says: Ready; display = 2.
It was working before but then it didn't update the map any more. I tried to relaunch the marathon_gui and refresh the browser, but I only get this message.
You will see this until you launch the patroller, or until the patroller triggers a GUI update (if it is already running). If you are just testing the GUI you can run the following to simulate patroller calls:
rosrun marathon_touch_gui demo.py
If this is with an already running patroller, try kicking the bumper to generate a help dialogue ;)
alright, kicking the bumper helped :)
Is there also a way to initiate this GUI without having to kick the bumper? Just wanted to have a look at the current status of the robot from external but I only see Ready; display = 3. Can't kick the bumper atm.
If you open the webpage to the Ready display before running the patroller you will always see it. Alternatively you can open http://<host_ip>:8090/index.html and the main page will be displayed. However, this won't change when the robot bumps etc. so you should return it to a Ready display (i.e. http://<host_ip>:8090/) if you leave it after this. You should also be able to connect remotely to the same address from other machines on the same network.
you can also use a part of https://github.com/strands-project/strands_ui/blob/master/marathon_touch_gui/scripts/demo.py
Just type python in the terminal and copy paste lines 3-7, 15 and 26. Then it will update normally to the help pages
Or just run
rosrun marathon_touch_gui demo.py
This will cycle through the screens, but leave it on the main one.
