Hi Chris,

When I attempted to use the SBC's Arlobot Web Controller Navigation Panel or the Arlobot Web Controller Navigation Panel on my PC, after shutting down the SBC's Arlobot Web Controller, to make a map it hung on the statement "Please wait, Loading Slam Toolbox...".

I ran "bash <(wget -qO- --no-cache -o /dev/null https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chrisl8/ArloBot/noetic/setup-noetic.sh)" to make sure that I had the latest updates.

I then tried to launch the Slam Toolbox manually by doing the following:

start-robot.sh
In a new Terminal:
roslaunch arlobot_ros slam_toolbox.launch

Expected Behavior:

The Slam Toolbox to launch without error.

Observed Behavior:

NODES
/
move_base (move_base/move_base)
slam_toolbox (slam_toolbox/async_slam_toolbox_node)

ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311

ERROR: cannot launch node of type [slam_toolbox/async_slam_toolbox_node]: Cannot locate node of type [async_slam_toolbox_node] in package [slam_toolbox]. Make sure file exists in package path and permission is set to executable (chmod +x)

How should I troubleshoot this issue?

Please see open issue #187.
