[ROS Q&A] 104 - How to add a rotating join to Kinect in Turtlebot

We solve today a question from ROS answers that asks about how to add a rotating joint to the Turtlebot Kinect sensor: answers.ros.or...
Q: How to Include a rotation Axis to Turtlebot Kinect?
A: Basically, what you need is to change the type of joint that ties the Kinect to the Turtlebot structure from fixed to continuous . Then you need to add the controller for the joint. The video shows how to do it

Thank you for answer my question!

Our pleasure!

Thank you for the video and thanks for how well you explains the code.
May I suggest that you from time to time do try to make errors intentionally and show us / explains how to debug it / fully understands the output in the terminal for errors, just a thought.

That is actually a very good idea. When learning ROS the most difficult part is to know how to debug errors. The way you propose can provide some training on that matter. Thanks for the suggestion. Please subscribe and share!

Hi Kevin, just to let you know, we have starting introducing small errors in the explanation so you can get the output for the error and learn it also. Check our latest video about roscore: ua-cam.com/video/ZaSW9TMc24Y/v-deo.html
We will progressively introduce more errors and more complex in the future

I am having an error like [FATAL] [1637948697.347686297, 1.744000000]: Package[hokuyo] does not have a path. Also, the turtlrbot is not visible in gazebo.
