Tully,
Thanks for the info, now is working, I was using ros::Time::now() because the tf tutorial says this is better.

Hi Nicolas,
If you print out the exception string we can help you more. I suspect that it might show you that your query is too early instead of too late.
If you are not particular about exactly when the transform is looked up I would suggest that you use ros::Time(0), this is a special value which will lookup to the latest available time. Instead of ros::Time::now() which forces a value.

Hi!
I am using this code to get the position of my robo:
pose2d_t ROS_Link::get_robot_pose(){
pose2d_t ret;
tf::StampedTransform transform;
geometry_msgs::TransformStamped msg;
std::string source_frame("/base_link");//!!este y el de abajo van!!!
std::string target_frame("/map"); //!! Ver q va bien aca!
try{
ros::Time now = ros::Time::now();
tl->waitForTransform(target_frame, source_frame, now, ros::Duration(1.0));
tl->lookupTransform(target_frame, source_frame, ros::Time::now(), transform);
}
catch(...){
ROS_ERROR("Error obtaining robot pose");
return ret;
}
tf::transformStampedTFToMsg(transform, msg);
ret.x = msg.transform.translation.x;
ret.y = msg.transform.translation.y;
ret.yaw = tf::getYaw(msg.transform.rotation);//!! WHY??
return ret;
}
the robot is a a model from videre erratic simulated in gazebo. I am attaching the tf tree with the frecuencies. But every time I run my program I have the ROS_ERROR("Error obtaining robot pose"); and the time to time I get the position.
So as I can see it is a problem of the speed of the transfomation. What can I do I have tried with more time in the wait for transform line?
Thanks
Nicolas
