Hello,
I am running ROS (latest cturtle) on my robot using an onboard 1.6 Ghz
dual-core Zotac ION-ITX with 4Gb RAM. This setup is fairly snappy when
I view RViz through a monitor directly attached to the robot
motherboard. However, I'd like to run the Zotac/robot headless and view
RViz on my desktop. The robot connects to my local LAN via 802.11g and
my desktop is hardwired at 100 Mb/s. These are the only two machines on
the network and I am running the basic navigation stack with a Hokuyo
laser scanner.
The best result I've gotten so far is using a VNC connection from my
desktop to the robot. However, updates in RViz are quite sluggish (2-3
seconds delay). The second best is to use "ssh -X" from the desktop to
the robot and display RViz back to the desktop. This is really, really
sluggish (3-5 seconds delay).
Is there a better way to view the robot data in RViz?
Thanks!
