transforms for laser
I recently wrote a ROS node for an older hokuyo laser. I wrote my own node because my laser is older and uses a protocol that is not supported by the hokuyo_node ROS package. My node is successfully publishing laserscan messages and I would like to view the laser scans in RViz. I'm having a problem viewing the data in RViz. The error I get is: Transform [sender=/hokuyo_pub] For frame [robot_pose_ekf/odom]: Frame [robot_pose_ekf/odom] does not exist
I think the problem involves transforms. I had to specify a frameid in the header of my laserscan message. I wasn't sure what to put here but tried: robot_pose_ekf/odom. I am using turtlebot.
Thanks for any advice!
