Hello, I am trying to set up an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). I have the following types of sensors mounted on board of the ROV system:

Please provide a sample message from all sensor inputs.

Hello Tom and thanks for taking the time to read the question. I provided a print-screen of all the sensor involved both from rostopic echo / and from rqt_topic I hope that could be helpuf to figure out what the problem might be

@RayROS: I'm sorry to have to do this, but I've closed your question as with your latest edit you're violating the support guidelines. Specifically: don't post screenshots of terminals / code / messages.

It's all text, so copy-paste whatever is needed into your question and use the Preformatted Text button (the one with 101010 on it) to format it properly. Use the edit button/link to edit your question.

After you've fixed this, we can re-open.

@gvdhoorn, thanks for point that out. I just updated the sensor sample according to the guidelines. It should be correct now and sorry for adding the print-screen I thought it would have been easier to see it form there.

I found the error to this question thanks to @Tom Moore for asking sample message from all sensor inputs and thanks to @gvdhoorn. The fact that I had to reformat the updated output of the sensors made me realize that the error was that the messages of USBL where never read by rosbag. After running rostopic echo / the following is the reason of my urdf for not moving:

header: 
  seq: 19
  stamp: 
    secs: 0
    nsecs:         0
  frame_id: "map"
child_frame_id: "base_link"
pose: 
  pose: 
    position: 
      x: 5.53904389031
      y: 28.6836443911
      z: 0.0
    orientation:

After reading the timestamp everything was fine and the urdf moved properly. I hope this could be useful for many other users! :)
