For those experiencing issues, here was my fix: 1. Use URDF VSCode extension to get URDF snippets (by smilerobotics) 2. Select pre release version of ROS extension (by Microsoft) Thanks for the amazing tutorial!!
Best video ever on URDF . Simple Explanation and Very easy to Understand.Thank you!!. URDF preview issue got solved when switched to pre-release version of the plugin.
You have mentioned transform, in almost each of your videos, can you make videos on transform broadcast and stamped? Moreover your videos are quite interesting, wish you can upload them every day. 😅
the best explenation I have found sofar. Would it be that easy with ros ? thought the launch files look much different not sure if the plugins support that ?
Assalamou alaykoum Luqmann, Actually, I'm trying to start with creating urdf from scratch and your tutorial(s) are in general very helpfull and ssimplified, Thanks a lot. This time I'm on VS code on windows but the urdf preview plugin doesn't show anything (doesn't start), any hints to deal with that ?
I tried to make my custom model. However I got stuck on when I added base_footprint as the parent link in the base_joint for the model to be on the ground, it showed error code "Could not render URDF due to: Error: Joint base_joint has refered to a link base_footprint which could not be found. Error: Joint base_joint has refered to a link base_footprint which could not be found. at Module." and failed to display in urdf preview. Commenting the joint part out will displayed the model normally but I would like to know how to fix it since I'm planning on using it on reinforcement learning, and the coordinate might fxcked me up.
Hi, I'm just a beginner for ROS and I have also faced a similar issue. But I have managed to solve it by just adding the line below before the base_joint. Hope it helps you.
@@xavierchai2305 It does work, at least it's displaying normally. Thanks for your help. I just got into ros and gazebo too, kinda hard to learn since all the tutorials are scattered all over the place. This tutorial is by far the easiest to follow and understand.
Iam following the urdf tutorial in roswiki and creating the urdf file for my dual arm mobile robot. I have the cad model files with me but iam not able to get the models in appear in rviz. Can you please help me ?
Hello Muhammad, Thanks for the videos. I have TWO separate and different urdf files .One for Robot arm (PILZ PRBT) and one for Gripper(schunk).How can I add Both? Thanking you in advance
Hi, at 4.59 I am getting an error that....could not render URDF due to error: Joint joint_name has refered to a link parent_link which could not be found. Error: Joint joint_name has refered to a link parent_link which could not be found. at Module. can you please help me with that ?
although i installed the other ROS related extensions you seem to have and still not getting a snippet for pure "robot", but "robot_urdf" instead. also i'm not seeing any "link" snippet that makes what you're getting
@@robotisim This didnt work for me. Any other thoughts on how to resolve? Which versions for the extensions should I make sure I am running besides Noetic and ROS1?
Hei can i ask a question, i want make my own robot, i have my own URDF and i don't know how do i start this? can you help me , what should i do first? nb. (i am sorry but i won't try to git clone, because i want make my own original robot) Thank you very much

Great 👍
It's very cool, thank you, your tutorial video is best
You are welcome!
Although I can't visualize it on preview at first due to the missing of base_footprint, but great video. Thanks a lot!
yes, mostly it urdf issue than the plugin . Anyways thanks for sharing
You are my God. Thank you sincerely..........
I accept your appreciation but i am a flawed human being created by GOD :D

Wish I had the time and resources to produce daily :D
You're brilliant

Waiting for part 2.
I am also waiting from my editor :p

Walaikumsalam ,
thanks
you have to check plugin docs why this is happening on windows
Hi, I did everything in the video step by step, I can see the TF but can't visualize the robot, why? And how can I fix this?
Have you added tf topic in rviz ?

Hi Muhammad,
I am using ubuntu 20.04 with ros-noetic but the URDF preview doesn't show anything. Could you help me with this?
I will look into it , a newer version is launched for preview they might have fixed issues for it
make sure there is no problem with your urdf file
@@robotisim There shouldn't be any problem with my urdf. I tried roslaunch the file, and the launch result in rviz is exactly the same as your video.
That is interesting .
Then obviously you are having an issue in vscode plugin
Hello Muhammad,
Thanks for the videos. I have TWO separate and different urdf files .One for Robot arm (PILZ PRBT) and one for Gripper(schunk).How can I add Both?
Thanking you in advance
Just add a joint in between a place where you think its suitable. Then copy paste the code of gripper to other file
Hi, at 4.59 I am getting an error that....could not render URDF due to error: Joint joint_name has refered to a link parent_link which could not be found. Error: Joint joint_name has refered to a link parent_link which could not be found. at Module.
can you please help me with that ?
Sure . You can share on discord -> your URDF code so i can understand better what i can help you with .
how to solve this problem?
I'm facing the same problem, could you please explain here how to solve it?
thank you for making these! i'm following along but it doesn't look like the "robot" tag snippet is supplied by pijar's "ROS snippets" extension
although i installed the other ROS related extensions you seem to have and still not getting a snippet for pure "robot", but "robot_urdf" instead. also i'm not seeing any "link" snippet that makes what you're getting
Re install the extension,and keep only one ros snippet extension.
Multi extensions produce these kinds of error
@@robotisim This didnt work for me. Any other thoughts on how to resolve? Which versions for the extensions should I make sure I am running besides Noetic and ROS1?
@@jasonsaturn6974 same problem here but u can use the otther ros snippets extension or urdf extension

nb. (i am sorry but i won't try to git clone, because i want make my own original robot)
Thank you very much
- Bring your urdf into rviz
- test joints
- add inertia and bring to gazebo
- add controllers and drive your robot
any advice if nothing is showing up in vscode URDF Preview? i'm able to view my model with rviz
Check syntax of urdf or reinstall the plugin
Did you manage to resolve it? I'm having the same issue. URDF Preview opens a black window (no robot, not even the grid)
@@ezequielschwarzbockpino did you fixed this problem ? please help if u had any solution for that and thnx
