i am able to get the odom by using the gps_common utm_odometry_node.. But the value is not stable..

thank you for your response Mr David.am also using a Hokuyo Laser Scanner

I was wondering, if its possible to use the /odom(obtained from converting lat and longitude from gps) to generate a map.

Am using a Xsens mti_g device. Using cyphy lab ros driver Converted the lat and log using gps_common/utm_odometry_node

its like, if I rotate the robot 90 deg, it turns only like for 75+ deg in RViz..

I tried to follow the tutorial and the dynamic reconfigure method. What both of them did was they changed the values of both ros parameters...

Seeing this had no result, I tried to echo rostopic "/turtlebot_node/parameter_descriptions", the values were not changed. But it was modified under "/turtlebot_node/parameter_updates", but there was no effect of the calibration. The method seems to be ineffective.

So I tried to find out, which file is setting the value when the node starts. The file was : /opt/ros/diamondback/stacks/turtlebot/turtlebot_node/src/turtlebot_node/cfg/TurtleBotConfig.py I modified the correction values there. This method helps in changing the correction values.

But my gyro calibration is still wrong. It got better from last time. But still, I cant get a good result.

Anybody has any clue on this ?
