• Multiple PC Setup: In case of having multiple PC (more specifically, the rosbridge_server running on a remote machine), you must use the correct IP address (please note that the localhost and 127.0.0.1 refer to the same/local device). You need to replace localhost with the correct IP address, in main.js as shown below: https://github.com/ravijo/vue-ros-demo/blob/b5bab3ab5339189926a019944376a2a3a0b2aee9/src/main.js#L9-L11 Reference: ravijo#1
