Writing a tf broadcaster (Python)
I don't really understand this tutorial. Link to the tutorial :- Click here
I can understand how broadcaster code works but the launch code seems too strange.
<node name="turtle1_tf_broadcaster" pkg="learning_tf" type="turtle_tf_broadcaster.py" respawn="false" output="screen" >
<param name="turtle" type="string" value="turtle1" />
</node>
<node name="turtle2_tf_broadcaster" pkg="learning_tf" type="turtle_tf_broadcaster.py" respawn="false" output="screen" >
<param name="turtle" type="string" value="turtle2" />
</node>
To my understanding, the above code creates two instances of the node right? So we should have turtle1 and turtle2 right?
But they mentioned,
"If you run tf_echo for the transform between the world and turtle 2, you should not see a transform, because the second turtle is not there yet."
I really don't understand how this works. Please explain.
What tutorial? Can you please update your question to a link to the tutorial?
Updated the question with link. Thanks.
