I have managed to do teleoperation, laser scan as well as passing tf to the slam_gmapping node. (As shown in the rxgraph below)
The only thing that is missing now is the "/clock" topic which has a md5sum datatype.
Question: 1) How to create a clock to use slam_gmapping on lego nxt instead of pr2?
Why do you need the clock topic? It is only used when the use_sim_time parameter is set to true, otherwise your computer's clock is used. You can find more information here.
Hi Lorenz thank you for your prompt reply.
I have tried to remove from the slam_gmapping_pr2.launch file like base on your advise. The /clock topic is not there now. =) Thank you.
Another thing that I'm uncertain is this line in the slam_gmapping_pr2.launch file: <remap from="scan" to="base_scan"/> It does not publish the scan topic to base_scan topic. (As shown below base_scan has no publisher in rxgraph)
So I cheated a little by using: rosrun topic_tools mux base_scan scan
Once I run "rosrun topic_tools mux base_scan scan" the base_scan will receive data from scan but this warning will pop up:
(As shown in the images below)
