【multimaster_fkie package】ROS多机通信配置

整个配置过程相当地痛苦，而且也很玄学，到目前为止，依然不清楚是哪一个步骤使得配置成功啦！

1. 功能包安装

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-multimaster-fkie

2. 实验配置

2.1. 固定IP地址

这一步是可有可无的，只要路由器能够保证，电脑关机重启后，能够分配到同一个IP地址便没有任何问题。如果目标对象是一些嵌入式设备，完全可以将其IP地址给固定下来，但是IP固定之后，貌似无法联网，目前该问题还不清楚如何解决。

# 具体设置可以在Ubuntu的有线连接进行设置，将IPV Settings的Method设置为Automatic(DHCP)
# 然后添加Address、Netmask、Gateway，点击保存即可
# 修改完网络设置，需要重启

• Intel平台设置

Address:192.168.0.100
Netmask:255.255.255.0
Gateway:192.168.0.1

• TX2平台设置

Address:192.168.0.101
Netmask:255.255.255.0
Gateway:192.168.0.1

2.2. 查看和设置主机名【hostname】

其实终端前方的文本为：usrname@hostname

# 查看hostname
$ hostname
# 修改hostname
$ sudo gedit /etc/hostname
# 修改完hostname需要重启才能生效

2.3. 修改/etc/hosts文件

sudo gedit /etc/hosts
# 修改完hosts文件后需要重启网络
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

• Intel平台设置hostname:intel

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 intel
192.168.0.101 tegra
192.168.0.100 intel

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

• TX2平台设置hostname:tegra

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 tegra
192.168.0.101 tegra
192.168.0.100 intel

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

2.4. 修改.bashrc文件，设置ROS_MASTER_URI

sudo gedit .bashrc，在.bashrc文件末尾分别添加如下文本，同时需要重启终端才能生效。

• Intel平台设置hostname:intel

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://192.168.0.100:11311

• TX2平台设置hostname:tegra

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://192.168.0.101:11311
# 有的项目提示，需要将其中一台电脑的端口修改为11312，没有测试过
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://192.168.0.101:11312

2.5. 查看multicast是否开启和设置

# 多播组功能使用如下指令查看，如输出为０，则说明开启
# 一般是关闭的，输出为１
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
# 暂时设置方法，重启电脑将失效
sudo sh -c "echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts"
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
# 永久设置方法
$ sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
# 如果不存在，在文本末尾添加；如存在则将１更改为０
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=0
# 服务重启
$ sudo service procps restart

2.６. 网络配置是否成功

• 测试多播组是否设置成功

# 说实话该指令没有理解，直接跳过
netstat -g
ping 224.0.0.1

• 网络测试：互相ping和ssh连接测试
  测试SSH是由于该功能包是建立在SSH通信的基础上的

# Intel平台测试
# ping IP地址
ping 192.168.0.101
# ping hostname
ping tegra
# ssh username@IP_address，输入密码即可连接成功
ssh [email protected]

# TX2平台测试
# ping IP地址
ping 192.168.0.10０
# ping hostname
ping intel
# ssh username@IP_address，输入密码即可连接成功
ssh [email protected]

3. 实验指令

• Intel平台:　Ubuntu 16.04 ６４位版本 ROS-kinetic (先启动)

$ roscore
# 启动多播组发现节点，传递多播组参数【_mcast_group】
$ rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery _mcast_group:=224.0.0.1
# 启动同步节点
$ rosrun master_sync_fkie master_sync
# 查看masters列表服务
$ rosservice call /master_discovery/list_masters

• TX2平台:　Ubuntu 16.04 arm版本 ROS-kinetic (后启动)

$ roscore
# 如果上面的IP地址更换，则这里可以设定端口
$ roscore -p 11312
# 启动多播组发现节点，传递多播组参数【_mcast_group】
$ rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery _mcast_group:=224.0.0.1
# 启动同步节点
$ rosrun master_sync_fkie master_sync
# 查看masters列表服务
$ rosservice call /master_discovery/list_masters

• 测试通信话题: Intel ==> TX2

# 在Intel上发布测试话题 /test1
$ rostopic pub -r 1 /test1 std_msgs/Int32 1

# 在TX2上输出话题信息 /test1
$ rostopic echo /test1

• 测试通信话题: TX2 ==> Intel

# 在Intel上发布测试话题 /test2
$ rostopic pub -r 1 /test2 std_msgs/Int32 2

# 在TX2上输出话题信息 /test2
$ rostopic echo /test2

3.1. master_discovery_fkie节点的相关参数

# 输出更加详细的调试日志
rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery _log_level:=DEBUG
# 设定多播组地址
rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery _mcast_group:=224.0.0.1
# 设定多播组接收和发送端口
rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery _mcast_port:=11512
# 设定RPC端口
rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery _rpc_port:=11612
# 设定需要发现的机器人的IP地址
rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery _robot_hosts:=[137.132.82.147]
rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery _robot_hosts:=[hostname]
# 设定hostname检验无效
rosrun master_sync_fkie master_sync _check_host:=false
# 设定多播组发送无效
rosrun master_sync_fkie master_sync _send_mcast:=false
# 设定多播组接收无效
rosrun master_sync_fkie master_sync _listen_mcast:=false

# 根据netstat -g指令展示的多播组进行选择，也许是这个
rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery _mcast_group:=224.0.0.251
# 在其中一台电脑设定节点名称，其中name前面有两单下划线【_ _】
rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery __name:=master_discovery_ai

3.2. master_sync_fkie节点的相关参数

$ rosrun master_sync_fkie master_sync __name:=master_sync_ai
$ rosrun master_sync_fkie master_sync _check_host:=false

4. 注意事项

• 多机通信之间的自定义消息一定要格式相同，不然无法实现有效通信
• 借助roslaunch实现节点信息同步和参数文件配置设置

# 同步配置：sync_interface.sync
# For ignore/sync nodes, topics or services
# use follow declaration:
#{param name}:
#   - {ros name}
# or for selected hosts:
#   - {host name}:
#     - {ros name}
# you can use follow wildcard: '*'

# A filter list with patterns. If this pattern merges to a node, 
# topic or service it will not be synchronized.
do_not_sync: 

# The ignore_* lists will be processed first.
ignore_hosts:
sync_hosts:
ignore_nodes:
sync_nodes:
ignore_topics:
ignore_publishers:
ignore_subscribers:

# 同步话题
sync_topics: 
- /test

# 忽略服务
ignore_services:
  - /*get_loggers
  - /*set_logger_level
# 同步服务
sync_services:
# If sync_topics_on_demand is True the local subscribed and published topics
# are synchronized with remote even if they are not in the sync_* list.
sync_topics_on_demand: False
# The nodes which are running not at the same host as the ROS master are not
# synchronized by default. Use sync_remote_nodes to sync these nodes also.
sync_remote_nodes: False
# Performs resync after the host was offline: unregister and register again 
# to avoid connection losses to python topic. These does not suppot reconnection!
resync_on_reconnect: True
# A configurable period that controls how long the offline-online period [sec] 
# is before the resync kicks in.
resync_on_reconnect_timeout: 0

• 重启电脑

说不上为啥，但是可能会有意想不到的结果

• 重启网络服务

# 也许有好结果
sudo service network-manager restart

• 重启SSH，出现Failed to start ssh.service: Unit ssh.service not found.

# node_manager提示：connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
# 重启SSH
$ sudo service ssh restart
>>> Failed to start ssh.service: Unit ssh.service not found.
# 安装SSH组件
$ sudo apt-get install ssh
# 卸载open-SSH组件
$ sudo apt-get remove openssh-client openssh-server
# 安装open-SSH组件
$ sudo apt-get install openssh-client openssh-server

# 查看相关组件
$ which ssh
$ which sshd
$ ssh localhost
# 远程连接:ssh username@IP_adrr
$ ssh [email protected]

• 注释.bashrc

要通过SSH使用ROS，在Ubuntu 16系统上，用户必须在其.bashrc文件中注释以下行

注释６－９行所在代码

• 使用不同的节点名称启动对应节点

# 在其中一台电脑设定节点名称，其中name前面有两单下划线【_ _】
rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery _mcast_group:=224.0.0.1 __name:=master_discovery_ai
rosrun master_sync_fkie master_sync __name:=master_sync_ai

• node_manager是GUI调试界面

5. 错误备忘

• 出现OSError:[Error 98] Address already in use

# 查找对应的进程的PID号
$ netstat -tunlp
# 结束当前进程，615为进程的PID号
$ kill -9 6135

• 出现Master_discovery node appear not to running. Wait for topic with type 'MasterState或Error while start RPC-XML server on port 11611: [Errno 98] Address already in use

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-multimaster-launch  
rosrun master_discovery_fkie master_discovery _send_mcast:=Ture  

• 出现DeserializationError cannot deserialize: unknown error handler name ‘rosmsg‘

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-genpy
# 原因ros中的一些pkg的依赖pkg没有相对应的更新（虽然有但版本旧）
# 使用如下指令查看版本号
dpkg -l | grep genpy

• rosdep update出现ERROR: unable to process source

• 系统设置没法点开

$ sudo apt-get install unity-control-center
# 需要重启，才能生效

• 终端编辑框没有颜色提示

# 修改 ~/.bashrc，
# 将里面的force_color_prompt=yes前面的注释‘#’去掉

• 防火墙阻挡

sudo apt-get install ufw
# 防火墙状态检查
sudo ufw status 
# 关闭防火墙
sudo ufw disable
# 激活防火墙
sudo ufw enable
