Revision history [back]

You have two options:
1. If you want to use std_msgs/Range with AMCL, then you have to modify amcl so that it can accept it which might not be straightforward.
2. Another way is to convert your std_msgs/Range to laser scan (/scan) and use that with AMCL which might be easier to implement.
