Yes, I ended up adjusting my field_of_view setting to compensate for the new values and now I have the cone object emitter. Thanks.

Thanks gvdhoorn, it was my issue. I modified my range values and it now shows up, albeit not as a 3D cone but as a 2d line emitter(view setting?)...none the less, solved!

2015-09-07 16:00:30 -0500 asked a question IR Range Sensor Rviz

I am having difficulty displaying the range visualization plugin inside of rviz.

I have followed this tutorial: http://wiki.ros.org/rosserial_arduino...

Furthermore, I have sensor output on the "range_data/range" topic from the arduino with Indigo.

Rviz has a plugin for Range topics listed.

However it appears that when I add the range topic into rviz I encounter an error for the header_frame not matching the fixed_frame. I resolved this by adding a static transform between my fixed frame[map] and my header frame[ir_ranger]; this remedies the plugin error message within rviz however no ir range sensors are shown visually inside rviz. I can not see the IR sensors(cones?) on my map.

Any ideas?
