Reachy 2023's Mobile Base does not move

Hi everyone,

recently, we have been trying to use Reachy’s mobile base. However, we were not able to make it move. The mobile base is properly connected as we can reach the mobile base and return its battery volatage etc. with the following:

reachy_mobile = ReachySDK(host='localhost', with_mobile_base=True)

When trying to control the mobile base, however, either via the goto command:

reachy_mobile.mobile_base.goto(x=0.5, y=0.0, theta=0.0)

or using the controller, nothing happens. There aren’t even exceptions, errors, or warnings in the terminal.

In case of the controller movement, using the script joy_controller.py seems to generally work as the terminal output indicates that the input from the joystick is received. Still, however, no movement by the mobile base.

Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Hi @RicoGuerra,

Could you provide the logs of the mobile base service?

systemctl --user status reachy_mobile_base.service > logs.txt

Thanks!
