[ros-users] gazebo and diffdrive plugin, weird behavior

[John Hsu]

Hi Anton,
indeed there was a bug.  Following patch applied to
gazebo/gazebo-svn/server/physics/ode/ODEHingeJoint.cc should fix the issue.
I'll ticket this and make a release patch.

 /// Set the velocity of an axis(index).
 void ODEHingeJoint::SetVelocity(int /*index*/, double angle)
 {
-  this->SetParam(angle, dParamVel);
+  this->SetParam(dParamVel,angle);
 }

Thanks!
John
