Hi, I tried to run the python code on this link http://answers.ros.org/question/9103/... and got such an error below : Traceback(most recent call last): File "/home/ahmet/catkin_ws/src/laserTF/src/laserTransform.py", line 26 in module> listener.waitForTransform("/base_link", "/odom" , rospy.Time(0),rospy.Duration(1.0)) tf.Exception: . canTransform returned after 1.00039 timeout was 1.

How to solve this problem ? Please help me this time . @jayess

Please also use the Preformatted Text button (the one with 101010 on it) to format your terminal output. Also, can you please post your tf tree and rqt_graph?

I coulnd't paste my terminal output using preformatted text button @jayess . So ı will write again this error:listener.waitForTransform("/base_link", "/odom" , rospy.Time(0),rospy.Duration(1.0)) tf.Exception: . canTransform returned after 1.00039 timeout was 1.

@Mekateng, @jayess is being very patient and helpful. Copying and pasting the same content does not give any more information. The onus is on you to provide more information if you want help to answer to your question.

@Mekateng, it's very simple to use the button. Highlight the portion that needs to be formatted, then click the 101010 button or type Ctrl-k. Then, it will be formatted correctly.

The error is saying that it times out waiting for the transform from base_link to odom. Without the requested information or more information about what you're running/doing then that's all that can be said. You need a transform from base_link to odom.

Until you post the information that I've asked for I can't give you much of answer beyond go through the ROS tutorials and the tf tutorials.

The error tells you exactly what the problem is:

"/home/ahmet/catkin_ws/src/laserTF/src/laserTransform.py", line 26 in module> listener.waitForTransform("/base_link", "/odom" , rospy.Time(0),rospy.Duration(1.0)) 
tf.Exception: . canTransform returned after 1.00039 timeout was 1

This comes from the line:

listener.waitForTransform("/base_link", "/odom", rospy.Time(0),rospy.Duration(1.0))

It's waiting for the transform from the /base_link frame to the /odom frame.

According to the tf tutorials that I linked to,

The waitForTransform() takes four arguments:

  1. frame...
  2. ... to this frame,
  3. at this time, and
  4. timeout: don't wait for longer than this maximum duration

Therefore, you need to publish the transform from the /base_link frame to the /odom frame.
