Revision history [back]

Solution found. The problem was a bug in the depth2laser node. When publishing the laser, the time field in the header was always set to 0, so that was impossible to reconstruct the time sequence of the scans. After having fixed that, gmapping was working correctly. I already informed the author of the node about the bug, and it should be now fixed.
