Hello @Hussam_MOHAMMED,

For ROSbot XL to work, two aspects must be ensured.

  1. Set the Ethernet port (communication with the PCB) to 192.168.77.2/24.

    Communication is expected from the 192.168.77.2 device on port 8888. Verify that the interface IP settings match and that the port is available.
    a. Please check the network information using ip a.
    b. Please check if the port is available using lsof -i :8888.
    (The port may be occupied by the Rosbot driver; this service can be disabled for testing purposes.)

  2. Launch the ROSbot driver.

    If you still experience problems launching the driver, please collect the logs. I don’t know when you received your robot, so depending on the version, you should:
    a. collect data from the rosbot-xl snap
    sudo snap logs rosbot-xl -n 200
    b. collect logs from Docker
    docker compose logs rosbot-xl
