Hey all,

So, I screwed up pretty nicely in the http://www.ros.org/wiki/navigation/Tutorials/RobotSetup tutorial and gave example parameters that do not actually match those read by the code. I imagine that this means many of you are using the default acceleration limits for your robots rather than the ones you meant to set. If your configuration for the base_local_planner includes the following spellings of the acceleration limit parameters:

 acc_limit_th: my_x
 acc_limit_x: my_y
 acc_limit_y: my_th

They will be ignored by the code and you'll need to switch to:

 acc_lim_th: my_x
 acc_lim_x: my_y
 acc_lim_y: my_th

As specified here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/base_local_planner#Parameters

Again, I apologize for this and I've fixed the documentation. I'm also going to take some time today to go through all the launch files I can find in our repositories fixing this error. I'm pretty sure that I copied the wrong text along with the rest of the world in at least a few places.

Truly sorry again... I just want to make sure that as many people as possible hear about this mistake as possible.

Hope all is well and that this fixes at least one or two puzzling problems,

Eitan
