I am new in working with Turtlebot 3 and ROS.

I am working with TurtleBot 3-Burger (Rasberry Pi 3) and ROS Kinetic.

I have a lunch file to lunch all my necessary nodes. When I run the lunch file in the workstation PC, I will get this error:

Warning: TF_OLD_DATA ignoring data from the past for frame base_link at time 26.5 according to authority unknown_publisher
Possible reasons are listed at http://wiki.ros.org/tf/Errors%20explained
     at line 277 in /tmp/binarydeb/ros-kinetic-tf2-0.5.16/src/buffer_core.cpp

I run roscore on the workstation PC and run roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_robot.launch on robot PC. Then, I launch mt launch file.

My launch file code:

<!-- PC: roscore-->

This line

<param name="use_sim_time" value="true"/>

in your launch file means that all nodes within the launch file (and all others started after the launch file has been run) try to use simulation time. This feature is intended mainly for simulation (see the Clock wiki page) and mis-using can lead to all sorts of problems. There's a good chance that removing that line will make things work (if you remove it, make sure you start new roscore, as otherwise the param stays on the parameter server).

Thank you for your answer. It was part of the problem. The other mistake was about the "stage" part and also the "world" file that we do not need them.

Obviously :) I stopped further looking at the launch file when I saw the "use_sim_time" as that alone doesn't make sense on a real system (in 99.9% of cases). Starting simulation does not, either :)
