Hi all.

I am currently having a problem I can't seem to overcome. I currently have a source install of Gazebo 4.1 (which was needed to make a custom sensor that is working fine) and ros Indigo under Ubuntu 14.04. Now I am trying to use gazebo-ros-pkgs in order to move a revolution joint I have with a transmission, but I can't even install gazebo4-ros-pkgs because it also installs gazebo4 gazebo4-common gazebo4-plugin-base libgazebo4 libgazebo4-dev which overrides my custom install, making me lose the ability to use my custom sensor, so I don't really know how to proceed.

Kind regards, Aridane

Update

I deleted everything and installed gazebo 4.1.3 from source. Then added gazebo-indigo-ros-pkgs (indigo-devel branch) to my catkin workspace. My custom sensor is up and running but I can't seem to be able to make the transmission joint work, since I don't see the corresponding topic for the command. The topics I see from gz topic -l are:

• /gazebo/default/log/control
• /gazebo/default/log/status
• /gazebo/default/model/info
• /gazebo/default/model/modify
• /gazebo/default/physics
• /gazebo/default/physics/contacts
• /gazebo/default/pose/info
• /gazebo/default/pose/local/info
• /gazebo/default/pose/modify
• /gazebo/default/request
• /gazebo/default/response

• /gazebo/default/sky
• /gazebo/default/visual
• /gazebo/default/world_control

and from rostopic list

• /charle/sonar
• /clicked_point
• /clock
• /cmd_vel
• /gazebo/link_states
• /gazebo/model_states
• /gazebo/parameter_descriptions
• /gazebo/parameter_updates

• /gazebo/setmodelstate
• /initialpose
• /joint_states
• /movebasesimple/goal
• /odom /rosout
• /rosout_agg
• /sonar/beam
• /tf /tf_static

The joint I want to control is sonartobase_link. Does anyone have any idea about why could this be?. In the meantime I'll keep trying to fix it.

Kind regards, Aridane
