Hello everybody,

I started some days ago to play with ROS and I am having some little
troubles with the teleop_wiimote tutorial (
http://www.ros.org/wiki/wiimote/Tutorials/WritingTeleopNode). I am using
Ubuntu 10.04 and installed ROS from the repository.

The problem is that any change i do in the code does not make any difference
in the behavior of the node. I tried to add button B support to stop the
"simulated turtle" any time i don't press this button but it does not seem
to work.

The launch file looks good. The output for "rostopic list" is:

/imu/data
/imu/is_calibrated
/joy
/rosout
/rosout_agg
/turtle1/color_sensor
/turtle1/command_velocity
/turtle1/pose
/wiimote/leds
/wiimote/nunchuk
/wiimote/rumble
/wiimote/state

And i check the /wiimote/state data though "rostopic echo /wiimote/state"
and it also looks good.

I tried compiling with make and rosmake commands but i didn't get anything
new.

Any ideas?

Best regards.
