Multiple machine communication from Hydro to Groovy

edit

Hi all,

I'm currently running on Hydro and I was trying to set up a multiple machines network with my lab robot. However, the robot is running ROS Groovy, and what we found was that my computer running Hydro was able to receive information from the nodes running on the robot computers, but was unable to send the same information back to the robots.

On the robot computers, the nodes running on my Hydro computer would be detected through rostopic list, but nothing would actually be received (ran tests with rostopic echo/bw/hz and saw nothing in all three tests).

We've been following the network setup found here. When we troubleshooted with netcat, we were able to see the text from my computer on the robot computer. It would have no issue when my teammate ran from his Groovy laptop with the robot computers.

So is there a compatibility issue when it comes to sending information through nodes from Hydro to Groovy?

Thanks
