Subject: Re: [ros-users] scan in amcl
I appreciate your help.

I attached the file to check my tf and nodes.

1) You'll need an odometry source that publishes information to tf
I already published odometry and tf information.
please see my frames.pdf file.

2) You need a node for a laser that publishes information on the "scan"
topic
In my case, "rosrun hokuyo_node hokuyo_node scan:=base_scan"

3) You need a map_server node that gives AMCL a map to localize against
In my case, I ran the following commands
"rosrun gmapping slam_gmapping scan:=base_scan"
"rosrun map_server map_saver"

Lastly, I ran "rosrun amcl amcl scan:=base_scan", but there is only warning
message repeatedly.
The warning message is "Request for map failed; trying again...".

I appreciate your help in advance.
