Revision history [back]

Provided the tf transforms are correctly set up and the scanner is outputting laser_scan data, this should work. A few things you could check:

  • Check that tf is working

  • Do you see other visualization elements in the camera view? (i.e. the grid, the arrow pointer when giving a 2D nav goal etc.)

  • Have you set the fixed frame in rviz properly?

  • Does it work with other robots/launch files? The Turtlebot or hector_quadrotor gazebo simulations for instance can be used to quickly check that.

  • Is your camera calibrated correctly? The camera view rectifies images, so this has to be correct.

  • Finally, be sure that you have set the "Overlay Alpha" of your camera view to something like 0.5.
