yes, I merged all the joint_state messages of the various node into the input of the robot_state_pubblisher via remapping inside launch file

eg of the remap into launch file:

<node name="joint_state_publisher" pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher" &gt;="" <rosparam="" param="source_list">[/ptu/state, joint_states, /motore_1_controller/joint_states, /motore_2_controller/joint_states, /motore_3_controller/joint_states, /motore_4_controller/joint_states]</rosparam> </node>

yes, I also see it. This mean that this function is deprecated or only is there a new way to pubblish effort to rviz?

Hi, I have a correctly working urdf model that i use inside rviz to display a robot and i would to add the visual effort indication as this http:// wiki.ros.org/rviz/DisplayTypes/Effort but when i try to enable it nothing happens (the topic are correctly publishing the effort data and there is no errors, the joint are continuous)

this is the joint states message that report also the effort

Hi all, how i have the model of a pan-tilt unit that i have wrote xml urdf file and imported in the parameter server, I'm able to see it in rviz but now I want to move it in function of the real position that I can read from the topic ptu/state that is in joint_state form.

I suppose that I need also the tf that robot_state_pubblisher can create but I don't know how to set it to read the correct topic because it create a tf topic but is void.

Thank you
