Revision history [back]

When you use slam, it's going to try to convert the laser scan from the frame_id of the sensor to the base_frame of your robot. As such, you must provide the transformation from your robot's base_frame to the sensor's frame. This can be done with a static_transform if the transformation is static, or a transform_broadcaster if it's not static. Both of these can be found in the tf tutorials.
