I'm trying to test my NXT Ultrasonic sensor with ROS, and everything is connecting fine, but I always get the following message:

respawning...
(this loops) It says there are no errors, but I still get no reading. (I've been studying ROS for 3 hours by the way. Please don't be too harsh...)

Thanks it actually was the firmware it works fine now! Thanks a lot!

Is the NXT brick running the latest firmware (v1.28 or above)? If not, you need to use the proprietary Lego software to update the brick.

were you able to get the tests on this page (http://www.ros.org/wiki/nxt/Installation) to work? The tests on that page make sure that your USB is setup correctly.
