Please give more information, otherwise it's really hard to help. 1) On which computer are you running tf_monitor? That one on the turtlebot? 2) How is your turtlebot started up? What does rosnode list show?

could we get a rostopic list? Maybe a bag file of recorded odometry? Is this an actual turtlebot (silly question, but a lot of robots use turtlebot code to run although they aren't turtlebots)?

I'm using old code (from october 2011) in which i've changed some functions. About the questions you made:

1- tf_monitor in the workstation which has the turtlebot-laptop as a roscore. But if i run tf_monitor in turtlebot-laptop I get the tf. That might be the problem...so if I run tf_monitor in the workstation I get what I said before, if I run it in the turtlebot-laptop:
