Revision history [back]

You need to publish the transform on a regular interval. TF has a buffer is only a couple seconds deep. If you publish the transform and then try to lookup the transform between that frame and another frame more than the time range of the TF buffer you will not be able to. In rviz you will most likely see the frame turn grey after some time interval showing that the transform information is stale.
