Hi,

I have modified the arm controller to take input from keyboard:

while not rospy.is_shutdown():
    varx = raw_input("Enter x: ")
    vary = raw_input("Enter y: ")
    try:
        r_arm_elx.publish(float(varx))
        r_arm_ely.publish(float(vary))
    except ValueError:
        print "Not a float"
    t = 6 * rospy.get_time()
    print t
    #Added for delay
    rospy.sleep(1)

but it crashes every now and then. Logs for the crash are attached. Should this be sent to Gazebo forum?

Kindly, help.

Thanks,

Sudip
