How to build a square box demo.

[anfederman]

Download this code in catkin

git clone http://github.com/pirobot/rbx1 into ~/catkin_ws/src
catkin_make --pkg rbx1
roscd rbx1_nav/nodes

vi nav_square.py change python to python3

launch
roslaunch magni_gazebo empty_world.launch Or on robot magni_bringup

rosrun rbx1_nav nav_square.py

there are other demos in rbx1_nav, but I haven't tested them. also,I havent tried a real robot since I don't have a 1m clear space!

I put the robot up on blocks and tested it, it works if built and run on the robot. It doesn't work if run from theworkstation, I don't know why. the same thing is true for direct rostopic pub commands. Might be some permissions/security feature.
