Hector_slam Transform is always 0,0,0
Hello Everyone,
I have been chasing this around for a few days now and have no clue whats going on. Not sure if I'm just doing something stupid. When I run hector with the xv_11 lidar I get a perfect map and everything works fine. I can move the lidar around and generate a map and everything. I went to grab the transform to see what my x and y are and they are always 0. for example if i run
rosrun tf tf_echo /map /base_link
I get:
At time 1469733057.877
- Translation: [1.000, 0.000, 0.000]
- Rotation: in Quaternion [0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000]
in RPY (radian) [0.000, -0.000, 0.000]
in RPY (degree) [0.000, -0.000, 0.000]
No matter what i do i get this transform. I did a project earlier that used hector_slam and gazebo and this gave me my current transform in the map.
