roslaunch hero_gazebo gazebo_wizard.launch : Launches empty Gazebo with no UI wizard

sgtmahoy opened this issue · 4 comments

Hey all, great stuff so far! Wondering if you have any insight to the subject issue. If possible when creating your how-to, would it be possible to include a brief walkthrough from a github pull to a gazebo sim?

roslaunch hero_gazebo env_spawn.launch spawns the arena and hero bots if gazebo is already launched, however none of the scripts link to the simulated swarm when run.

Thanks!

Hey @sgtmahoy
Thanks for your interest in this repo!

Sorry for the lack of instructions so far. I'm trying to constantly add some instructions when I have some time.
I'll try to upload a walkthrough tutorial from a github pull to a gazebo as soon as possible.

If I understand correctly, you are having a problem with the UI wizard, right?
Did you note any warnings or errors in your terminal?
Try running the script,

rosrun hero_gazebo hero_wizard.py

and check for any errors. Also, check if the hero_wizard.py file has executable permissions.

chmod +x hero_wizard.py

I haven't added the package's dependencies yet, and this UI was created using QT, so make sure the python3-pyqt5 package is installed. Use python3-pyqt5 for ROS noetic, and python-pyqt5 for ROS melodic.
You can use apt or similar to install:

sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5

To advance your tests, here is a short video showing step-by-step guide for first use of hero wizard:

Hey @sgtmahoy,
