• The display will look like below

Solution:

• Is the wireless RunStop (the yellow OMNEX box) in the vacinity of the robot? ( In the same room)

  • If not find it and bring it into the room, it may be out of range.

• Is the wireless RunStop working and with a yellow light flashing next to the start button?

  • If not press start
  • If the light does not blink after you press start
    • Replace the batteries.

Is the RunStop button pressed?

Solution:

• Is the RunStop button pushed in? (It's the big red button on the back.)

Error: Power board gui comes up empty

The display will look like below.

Solution:

• Is the power node running on your robot?
  • Check by running

    rosnode list

  • and see if pr2_power_board is running.
  • If it is not running:

    • Is your ROS_MASTER_URI pointing at the right place?

    • Can you run it manually? On the robot

      rosrun pr2_power_board power_node

      • If it comes up you probably have a problem with your launch script(s). Check to make sure they launch the pr2_power_board power_node correctly. It might look like:

        <!-- Power Board Control Node -->
        <node pkg="pr2_power_board" type="power_node"  respawn="true"/>

    • If you cannot run it manually
      • Make sure it's compiled and try again

      rosmake pr2_power_board
