Yes I understand...I need to look into the problem more carefully Monday.. My thoughts are right now to put a try and catch in for the exception and to take another look at the raw nxt stream and see if there is anything I missed the first time I stumbled upon this problem.. If you want to work on it some more try looking at usbsock.py in nxt_python you can set debug to True and look at the data coming over the wire.

I will look more into a more permanent fix on monday morning since I don't have a brick at home. For now if it only happens periodically set nxt_ros respawn in your launch file..

I have an NXT controller, and I am trying to use it with ROS. I have an ultrasonic sensor configured for use on the robot. When I run nxt_ros with bluetooth, I get the error "nxt.error.I2CError: ls_get_status timeout" when it is setting up the sensors, and nxt_ros dies. When I use USB, I get the error "usb.USBError: No error" and nxt_ros dies. What can I do to fix this? If I comment out the ultrasonic sensor from the yaml file (and just leave two motors and a gyro), the process runs just fine.
