[ros-users] ros and pioneer 3dx

[Austin Hendrix]

Questions like this should be asked on http://answers.ros.org/ so that the answers are easy for other people to find.

This sounds like a network problem; probably that the hostname of one of your machines doesn't resolve properly. Try setting ROS_HOSTNAME on both machines to the machine's IP address. For a longer-term solution, get your network/sysadmin to fix DNS or your computers so that your hostnames resolve properly.

The p2os node connencts to the H8S board and, hence it is not a serial/usb port permission issue. If we run everything on the robot (roscore, dashboard, p2os) adjusting the ROS_MASTER_URI to localhost, then it works. But we would like to execute everything but p2os node on a remote machine.
