No matching hardware interface

[EceChaik]

Hello,

I am using ros indigo, I was following the ros_control tutorials and when I cloned gazebo_ros_demos and run
roslaunch rrbot_gazebo rrbot_world.launch
I got the following error:
"No matching hardware interface found for 'hardware_interface/EffortJointInterface"
Does anyone know what the reason for this could be?
Thank you.

I met same issue

Oh thanks for reminding me.
I solved it by changing the code in the rrbot's transmission tag from
<hardware_interface>hardware_interface/EffortJointInterface</hardware_interface>
to
<hardware_interface>EffortJointInterface</hardware_interface>
Maybe it is an actual code error

@EceChaik Have you ever tried control one? I got following error
"
Controller Spawner couldn't find the expected controller_manager ROS interface.
"

[EceChaik]

No I haven't had that one. When does it occur, and is it the only error message you get?

This changed in kinetic:
ros-simulation/gazebo_ros_pkgs#550

I think if you switched this repo to the indigo branch it would work as expected for indigo
