Running real Turtlebot2 on ROS Noetic with Ubuntu 20.04

[jmvega]

Turtlebot2 is no longer supported on ROS Melodic.

Hi @jmvega could you please record a demo video about it? Is this issue closeable then?

Hi @jmvega I managed to make it work long time ago with ROS Melodic and ubuntu 18.04. I made a script that install the necessary pieces to make it work. Check it out, maybe you find it useful in some way :)

Hi @jmplaza, is this issue still open?

[jmplaza]

Hi @trunc8 , do you have access to a real Turtlebot2?

[trunc8]

Sorry, I do not have access to physical Turtlebot2 hardware, but I have worked with Turtlebot2 in Kinetic before. I can perform any software tests if that can be of any help!

Hi,
no, this issue is just for tests with the real robot...

AFAIK @Carlosalpha1 you are already working on this, not for ROS-Noetic, but for ROS2-Foxy. Aren't you?

[Carlosalpha1]

Yes, @jmplaza, in a first approximation, I have the integration of kobuki_keyop for ROS2-Foxy here
