odometry problem

Hello , I want to move my robot with the keyboard. I write a node that subscribe to the cmdvel topic and pulish to the odom. But I get an error : ‘odomtrans’ does not name a type

Please help me to solve the problem, thanks :))

try removing geometry_msgs::TransformStamped odom_trans; in callback, also move x,y,theta to private variables.

Thanks @bvbdort . I have removed odom_trans in callback, but the error still exist.

#include <geometry_msgs/TransformStamped.h>?

Hi @yigit . I included the header file , but the problem is same.

Change the order of private part and public part of class. Refer variable after defining.
