Im a very new to ROS. I have a turtlebot with a Kobuki base. Bot came with an Astra camera and I was able to use gmapping and save the map. I was able to run amcl to navigate the map. I have added a xv-11 lidar recently and used the wiki about adding a Lidar. I used the XV-11 driver. I am able to create and save the map using the xv-11 laser. But I am unable to navigate while avoiding obstacles. Turtlebot sees the obstacles via the xv-11 scan but it runs right into the obstacles. I have searched high and low and made some tweaks but nothing seemed to have help. Not sure why I'm doing wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction ?

here is my costmap common file

max_obstacle_height: 0.60  # assume something like an arm is mounted on top of the robot

Obstacle Cost Shaping ( http://wiki.ros.org/costmap_2d/hydro/... )

robot_radius: 0.14  # distance a circular robot should be clear of the obstacle (kobuki: 0.18) #changed-tkj

# footprint: [[x0, y0], [x1, y1], ... [xn, yn]]  # if the robot is not circular
footprint: [[0.20, 0.20], [-0.20, 0.20], [-0.20, -0.20], [0.20, -0.20]] #added-by-tkj

I formatted the config files to make it easier to read. The easiest way to do that is to paste your config/source/etc. in the text box, highlight it, click the 101010 button.
