robot_localization gps compass

Hello again: My system is this:

  • Compass: only has data yaw with 10 hz of frecuency. When is facing to the East reads 0 when facing North reads pi/2. Yaw_offset of navsat 0. And tf between base_link and compass (R, P, Y) -> (0, 0, 0) and (X, Y, Z) -> (0, 0, 0)
  • GPS: 1 hz of frecuency.
  • Have a publishing IMU 100 hz.And I'm not sure it will work with the final implementation.

The launch file is the next:

The forward direction for the robot platform should be +X in the base_link frame.

I take it the red line is the output of navsat_transform_node? Try setting your magnetic_declination_radians parameter.

Yes is the output of navasat_transform_node. The magnetic declination is about 2.5º but the compass that i will use is a satelital compass. How do you think anout the results?

They're reasonable. I'd fix the magnetic declination (careful with the sign) and possibly up the covariance on your GPS. It may be that your compass heading is not great, because +X acceleration should move in the same direction of travel as the GPS. You're getting skewed forward motion.
