Hi I am trying to load a real time joint controller as in the tutorial http://www.ros.org/wiki/pr2_mechanism/Tutorials/Running%20a%20realtime%20joint%20controller when i write rosrun pr2_controller_manager pr2_controller_manager list-types i find my controller.

rosrun pr2_controller_manager pr2_controller_manager list-types
JointGravityController
JointPendulumController
MyControllerCart
ethercat_trigger_controllers/MultiTriggerController
ethercat_trigger_controllers/ProjectorController
ethercat_trigger_controllers/TriggerController
my_controller_pkg/MyControllerPlugin

but when i try to run it by -- rosrun pr2_controller_manager pr2_controller_manager load my_controller_ns i get an error [

    [ WARN] [1348483742.077905347, 5304.895000000]: The deprecated controller type MyControllerPlugin was not found.  Using the namespaced version my_controller_pkg/MyControllerPlugin instead.  Please update your configuration to use the namespaced version.

Make sure that you are calling the PLUGINLIB_REGISTER_CLASS macro in the library code, and that names are consistent between this macro and your XML. Error string: Cannot load library: No manifest in /home/nachum/my_controller_pkg/lib/libmy_controller_lib.so: my_controller_pkg__MyControllerPlugin

any ideas what am i doing wrong? Thanks

Which version of ROS and which OS are you using?

The error messages complain that you aren't declaring and exporting your plugin properly; have you checked that? If you can post your controller code, manifest and CMakelists.txt, that will help debug.

Some how I just closed the Gazebo and turned it on again and it worked.

Probably because the controller manager re-initialized the list of plugins.

Hi Nachum,

I don't know if you solved it yet, but here is an answer.

The warning is due to the setting of the controller type. You must specify the package, i.e (if you followed the tutorial):

$ rosparam set my_controller_name/type my_controller_pkg/MyControllerPlugin

Concerning the second error : to load your controller type, use your controller name (it seems you are using your controller namespace). So, to refer to the tutorial, use "my_controller_name" instead of "my_controller_ns".

Concerning the first error : might be many things, but if you follow the previous tutorial right, you should solve it.
