It is the same message no matter how I try to start it.
 
Either:
 
roslaunch neato_node bringup.launch
 
or
 
rosrun neato_node neato.py _port:=/dev/ttyUSB0
 
 
 
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/alan/groovy_workspace/neato_robot/neato_node/nodes/neato.py",
line 44, in <module>
from neato_driver.neato_driver import xv11, BASE_WIDTH, MAX_SPEED
ImportError: No module named neato_driver.neato_driver

 
I am getting a bloom warning in roswtf.    ros_arduino_bridge,  and the turtlebot kinect launch + rviz  all work ok off my Ubuntu 11.10 AMD 64 laptop running Groovy.
 
 
Stumped at this point.     Anyone else running the neato_robot  package under groovy?

Based on your answers.ros.org response -- you need to use catkin, not rosmake, with this package. It is already using the newer buildsystem. I've updated the readme with instructions for those not familiar with catkin yet.

Thanks Mike,
 
  I'll try the catkin build tomorrow.

I have built the neato_robot according to the instructions I found in the catkin wiki and the README.md file. 
 
I am still getting [neato_node] does not exist.      I think I am missing a 'source' or a 'make' step somewhere.
 
I did a git clone into   my overlay_ws/src
 
followed by a catkin_make  - 
 
I did source the devel/setup.bash
 
roscd neato_node    takes me to the.... src/neato_robot/neato_node   directory
 
 
So again I'll ask the question -  if someone has built the neato_node using catkin/groovy could you please give me a dump of your history file?
 
 
This wet vs dry package installation is giving me a rash.
 
 
Thanks.

Wet vs. Dry? I think I'll stick with Diamond and Electric.
What's the pre-rec's for learning ROS? I'm finding it a tough road as
well.

OK it is finally running   I had to do a make install   in the build directory.
 
 
Afterwards  I got it to launch  via roslaunch  neato_node  bringup.launch
 
I DID have to change   the neato.py file  from  USB0  to ACM0
 
 
Still need to configure rviz.    the old neato.vcg file doesn't seem to work with the new rviz.

Alan F,

You might be interested in this ROS package:

http://www.ros.org/wiki/razor_imu_9dof

I had problems getting it to "compile", but then as the author advised
me in an email, it's mostly PY, so shouldn't need to be rosmake.

"I edited cmake_install.cmake, makefile and cmakecache.txt files to fix
the path, and ran rosmake. this time all compiles!"

There is a Python program to show the action with VPython, but I haven't
been able to get both Python 2.7.3 and VPython to run on my XP Pro. I
suppose it's not needed, as long as the Razor can interfaced with ROS.

This gives you 9DOF readings for ROS. I'm hoping they are standard
messages so that other ROS packages can read them! Need a nice package
for a GPS. I have a couple, but GPS generates NEMA #0813 messages, so
I'm guessing there's something already.

These new Locosys and uBlox GPS modules even work indoors! And the
Locosys GPS has GPSFox and MiniGPS programs to support it (under
Windoz)! I need to make up a USB-TTL3.3 cable for the uBlox to see if
the programs work on the uBlox. Although it has a support program too.
