I actually just came across this issue with our PR2 last night. I found that starting the robot by running "sudo robot start" fails to find any controllers created in my local directories. I had to "sudo robot stop" the robot and then start it up with "roslaunch /etc/ros/robot.launch" to get the system to find my custom controllers.

Hi,

We are trying to get a realtime controller to run on the PR2 robot. We have copied and pasted the "writing a realtime joint controller" tutorial and it works in simulation. However, the controller fails to register on the actual robot. It finds the controller_plugins.xml file but the pr2_controller_manager does not list MyControllerPlugin in the types. We've reloaded the libraries, remade things, and restarted the robot. Help?

Thanks,
Jenny and Mario
