Mapping doesn't work in quick start demo - missing transform from base_link to map

Help
1

When I run the route panel admin demo command:

roslaunch route_admin_panel demo_rosbot_mbed_fw.launch

I get a repeating missing transform from base_link to map error. I followed the steps throughout the guide and don’t think I missed anything. Could someone tell me why this may be happening and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Hi rpeddi,

this issue might be caused by a corrupted or incorrect map.
In order to fix this issue, you can remove map files from /route_admin_panel/nodejs/user_maps.
First enter directory where maps used by route_admin_panel are stored:

roscd route_admin_panel
cd nodejs/user_maps/

If you don’t have any important maps nor target points saved on your robot I would suggest removing all files including config.json. This will ensure that all files that might cause your problem will be removed. You can do it by running:

# make sure you are in  /route_admin_panel/nodejs/user_maps directory
rm *.pgm *.yaml *.json

After you remve files from this directory run

roslaunch route_admin_panel demo_rosbot_mbed_fw.launch

Everything should work from now on.
