hi i am trying to build 2d map i go just part of the map and git in the axis error that say in rviz: Transform For frame [base_link]: No transform to fixed frame [map]. TF error: [Could not find a connection between 'map' and 'base_link' because they are not part of the same tree.Tf has two or more unconnected trees.] ithe odometery data are publishing and the kinect work fine i don't know where the problem is i will include all the information that can help: i am using indigo first i use this launch file

<param name="port" value="/dev/ttyACM0" />

<param name="baud" value="115200" />

<param name="publish_tf" value="true" />

<param name="publish_rate" value="10.0" />

<param name="linear_scale_positive" value="0.99" />

<param name="linear_scale_negative" value="0.99" />


<param name="angular_scale_positive" value="1.0" />


<param name="angular_scale_negative" value="1.0" />

<param name="angular_scale_accel" value="0.0" />

<param name="alpha" value="0.5" />

<param name="use_imu" value="true" />

and

<node name="teleop" pkg="teleop_twist_keyboard" type="teleop_twist_keyboard.py" output="screen" launch-prefix="xterm -e"/>

<node pkg="rviz" name="rviz" type="rviz" args="-d $(find beginner_tutorials)/launch/rviz/slam.rviz"/>

and it must run good base controller is running without any problem and publish the odom data the tf tree and rviz Screenshot from 2016-06-18 19:51:20.png Screenshot from 2016-06-18 19:52:30.png

i hope this can help.

note: you can find base_controller in this package https://github.com/sungjik/my_personal_robotic_companion I use it as a reference with some difference but the tf publish is the same . I am launch robot config and slam.launch from this package I hope this information will help.

note2: after adding this line befor launch

rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0 0 0 0 0 0 map base_footprint 100 no error occure in rviz but still the axises don't move when the robot move i still don't know why this is the tree after adding this line image description

it's make the map in the same place don't move and the in the odom data seq: 1839 stamp: secs: 1466341747 nsecs: 223550043 frame_id: /odom child_frame_id: /base_link pose: pose: position: x: 0.00107754043214 y: -0.000931717192192 z: 0.0 orientation: x: 0.0 y: 0.0 z: -0.260476129843 w: 0.96548028762

when the position change no change in the position of the robot while building the map.

note3: i use this befor the launch and this make appropriate tf tree

rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0 0 0 0 0 0 odom base_footprint 100

and this is the tree

image description

and here no problem occure in rviz the tree is good but still the axis not move correctley when i move it take a while to move and not in the same direction and when the robot is in the same place for a while it's move the axis move while the robot not moving i know this is a different story but i hope u can help i got this msg some time when i build the map

update frame 4753 update ld=0.3162 ad=2.30165 Laser Pose= -0.17 0.02 -0.00663924 m_count 26 Scan Matching Failed, using odometry.

note 4: this is the odometery

geometry_msgs::TransformStamped t;

  t.header.frame_id = odom;

t.child_frame_id = base_link;

t.transform.translation.x = x_pos;

  t.transform.translation.y = y_pos;

  t.transform.translation.z = 0.0;

  t.transform.rotation = odom_quat;

  t.header.stamp = current_time;


  broadcaster.sendTransform(t);

i hope you can help me. and thanks

Are you publishing map->odom transformation anywhere or is it there by default?

Comment by ghaith on 2016-06-18:
i use the control base from this package https://github.com/sungjik/my_personal_robotic_companion with some difference but still the method of publish tf is th same I hope this will help.

Comment by Shantnu on 2016-06-18:
So basically some node name base_controller which belongs to beginner_tutorials pkg is publishing the tf for you? Is that correct?

Comment by Shantnu on 2016-06-18:
Secondly, the problem is the missing connection between base_link and map frame. To set that up, try doing this in your terminal before launching your launch file:

rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0 0 0 0 0 0 map base_footprint 100

Comment by Shantnu on 2016-06-18:
it feels like the sequence of tf is wrong. It should be like map->odom-> base_footprint-> base_link. For you, it odom comes after base_footprint, which feels weird.

Comment by ghaith on 2016-06-19:
this work but still the axises don't move when the robot move but in rviz no error occure every thing work fine but the axises don't move i don't know why

Comment by ghaith on 2016-06-19:
how i can solve this how i can make footprint child of odom and father of base linke i think this will solve move problem

OK, so you have two problems here that I can see off the bat, and they are both related.

First, get rid of the static transform from map->base_footprint. Gmapping knows to update the map when that transform changes (either in translation or rotation) by a user specified amount. By using a static transform, that transform will never change and therefore the map will never update.

Second, looking at Screenshot from 2016-06-18 19:51:20.png, you can see that there is no transform between odom->base_footprint. You may have something publishing an nav_msgs/Odometry message, but there is nothing publishing the transform to the tf topic. I don't know what your odometry node looks like, but it seems to be missing the transform publisher. Take a look at lines 43-55 in the sample code of the odom tutorial.

[EDIT] Change the t.child_frame_id = base_link; to t.child_frame_id = base_footprint;. Frames can have multiple children but only a single parent. The way it is set up now, base_link is the child of both base_footprint and odom. As this isn't allowed it will latch onto the first parent to be published, in this case base_footprint.

thanks for replay i update post and the odemtery is published in the same way

Comment by ghaith on 2016-06-21:
this solution work great no problem but just small question now when the robot move just turn the axies is it in the odometery problem . the robot don't move forward but building the map without any problem but it turn around the same point

Comment by Icehawk101 on 2016-06-21:
The map only rotates around the z axis, there is no translation? Can you give me a link to the node you are using?

Comment by ghaith on 2016-06-21:
i am using the appropriately the same method in this package https://github.com/sungjik/my_personal_robotic_companion in the base controller node i don't know what the problem i am publish the imu from arduino this is all the defferince and i run robot confg launch and slam all the odom change

Comment by ghaith on 2016-06-21:
when i move forward x and y change and it's positve if i move back ward x and y will be negative and if imove left x will be + and y - and so on so i don't know what is the reason every thing work fine and the robot move in the real world but not in the map in the map just rotate in the z axis

Comment by Icehawk101 on 2016-06-21:
That sounds like the kinematics are wrong. What kind of robot is it? Omnidirectional, skid-steer, or ackerman?

Comment by ghaith on 2016-06-21:
it's diff wheels robot

Comment by ghaith on 2016-06-21:
if there any other way to set the kinematics plz give it to me any tutorial or example or even an issue it will be great and thanks for your help .

Comment by Icehawk101 on 2016-06-21:
You'd have to look up the kinematic equations for a differential drive online and check the equations in the controller. Remember that ROS uses right hand rule: x+ forward, y+ left, z+ up

thanks for your help
