Clarification about the tutorials step 1.4 about ros-sharp

[verena-roehrl]

Hi Anirudh,
great to hear that you are working with ROS#.

• you have to create the getting_started2.launch and file_server.launch file of Step 1.4.1 in the launch folder of a package (/PATH_TO_YOUR_PACKAGE/launch/)
• if a certain roslaunch file was not found it is most likely that you didn't source your setup.bash file. This command helps:

$ source ~/PATH_TO_YOUR_CATKIN_WS/devel/setup.bash

• in principle you could place your launch files in the launch folder of any package you like, but I don't recommend to place it in these big downloaded packages (never touch a running system). In addition the functionality of the mentioned launch file is not really related to the launch files in rtmros_nextage/rtmros_nextage/, so just keep the content of your packages structured depending on its functionality.
• you don't need to clone the whole ros-sharp repository to your catkin_ws. Just cloning the file_server and creating the launch files in the launch folder is enough.

Please check and go through the official ROS Tutorials. These help you to understand the whole mechanism of ROS (starting with small pieces) better and answers some of your questions as well :).

I hope that helps,
Verena

Hello Verena, It certainly helped! I am now able to launch the server and communicate with it from the Unity pop-up window (URDF Importer) to import the meshes. Nevertheless, The client from unity side is communicating with the file server but disconnecting without performing the import or the creation of the GO in the scene hierarchy. (At office) On the other hand, in one of my other systems, I am not able to get the bridged adapter to have an IP address at all. Have you a solution to this? I read that it is a VirtualBox issue but there are no working solutions that helped! (At home) Many Thanks in advance for your help, Best Regards, Anirudh
