Hi all,
1. I am using the universal_robot package and I would like to visualize the end-effector's position error in rqt_plot. I guess I need to compute it in a node of my own and publish it so I can have access to the topic in rqt_plot. Is that correct?
2. Now in order to start with I thought I would visualize component X of the effector in rqt_plot. So I had a look at the topics published and I could find topic */tf* of type *tf2_msgs/TFMessage*which contains an array of transforms of type *geometry_msgs/TransformStamped[]* (itself containing the translation info a few levels below). This boils down to me trying to plot topic **/tf/transforms[*whatToPutHere?*]/transform/translation/x**. But I never can get my curve correctly displayed:
* If whatToPutHere = blank (nothing, empty): ros_plot lets me add the topic to plot, but the curve value is 0
* If whatToPutHere = 0, 1, 2... : ros_plot lets me add the topic to plot, but the curve value is 0
* If whatToPutHere = ee_link (name of the effector's link): ros_plot does not let me add the topic to plot
Any idea of what goes wrong here?
Thanks,
Antoine.
