Hi, I am trying to create a connection between ros2 foxy and Isaac Sim. I have established a connection for the most part. I am able to read data from ros2 topics, and I can publish data as well. However; for some reason, the articulation node does not move the joints although I see the command inputs are coming. You can find the USD file that I have created from the link below. I appreciate any help.
Looking at the joints limits, it looks like the limits are not right:
This is using PhysX SDK debug vis, that you can enable in the physics debug window (Window->Simulation->Physics->Debug). There you can enable the debug vis and step the simulation one frame.
If you select the joint, you can also see during authoring that the limits are not right probably:
Regards,
Ales
