Hi Miguel, 

We haven't had time to get the NXT simulations setup in gazebo simulations.  

What needs to be done is models loaded for each of the parts you plan to simulate, many are done already for the URDF visualization.  And then all the motors, and sensors need plugins written for them so that gazebo can simulate them correctly.  Once that is there, it's just a matter of composing the URDF which describes your NXT robot.  An example plugin is the create plugin in the turtlebot_gazebo_plugins package you can browse the code at https://kforge.ros.org/turtlebot/simulator/file/d76b1532b281/turtlebot_gazebo_plugins

Hi again!

I am truly interested on developing this, but I really need some guidance to start.
I wrote an email to Nate Koenig, who offered his help in this thread, but I've had no answer :(

Best regards,
Miguel.

Great, I was wondering why my mails didn't show up in the developers mail list and now I see they appear triplicated over here.
Sorry about that :(

Hi, I'm new around here and I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread, correct me if I'm wrong, please :)

I'm beginning to work on the final project of my Computer Engineering studies, a simulator for the Lego NXT robot, and I discovered ROS recently, so I thought that I could use ROS/Gazebo, due in part to the lack of this feature in the NXT support.

The thing is I'm not sure what should I do or where to begin (I'm getting used to ROS these days, but I learn fast), so I could use a little guidance if you would.

Thanks!
Miguel.
