Ros ultrasonic sensor Rviz Error

edit

I am trying to build a custom bot with a few different sensors publishing to nodes and using Rviz to visualize said nodes. I get this error in Rviz. Transform[sender=unknown_publisher] For frame[]:Fixed Frame [map] does not exist Now i am super new to Ros and Rviz so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

here is the code
