Deprecated Ackerman Controller Tutorial

The current Ackerman controller ROS1 Tutorial is not up to date the parameters of the node are no longer the described. Ackermann Controller — Isaac Sim Documentation

I am attempting to enable the movement of the forklift_c asset, but I am missing some of the parameters

Specifically, I assumed the deprecated turningWheelRadius value is the current FrontWheelRadius, but I can’t seem to find the BackwheelRadius.

Thanks for pointing this out!
Yes you are right. ROS 1 tutorials have been deprecated for a while now which is why they haven’t been updated. And ROS1 will be removed in Isaac Sim 5.0.
Here is the warning for Isaac Sim 4.5 ROS and ROS 2 — Isaac Sim Documentation

Just another quick question, I want to enable the robot to utilize the navigation stack on ROS, I already achieved this on the forklift_b asset but for the forklift_c asset it seems the Lidar readings are scaled down. This is due to the scale size of the asset which is 0.01. I have added the LIDAR to its body, but it seems these transforms are impacting the LIDAR pointcloud.

How can I fix this? Can I permanently add the scale to the forklift so the transforms are relative to the global axis of my scene?

Hi @ph.silva1 ! Could you please explain what you mean by lidar readings are scaled down? Do you have a USD scene file for me to replicate the issue? Thanks!

By restarting the client this issue was fixed. Thanks @zhengwang.
