[ros-users] self_filter dropping all the messages

[Ugo Cupcic]

Hi,

I'm now trying to get the robot_self_filter self_filter to filter my
robot from my point_cloud.

I tried different parameters but couldn't get it to work. I must be
missing something. 

I convert the PointCloud2 from the kinect to a PointCloud on the
topic /camera/depth/points. My robot is publishing tf for all the
joints.

I'm getting this warning (you can get a longer log at the end of the
message): 
[ WARN] [1294682275.522087372]: MessageFilter
[target=/forearm_motor /palm /wrist ]: Dropped 100.00% of messages so
far. Please turn the [ros.robot_self_filter.message_notifier] rosconsole
logger to DEBUG for more information.

And when I turn [ros.robot_self_filter.message_notifier] to DEBUG: 
[DEBUG] [1294682309.075618256]: MessageFilter
[target=/forearm_motor /palm /wrist ]: Removed oldest message because

Here are the parameters I use: http://pastebin.com/j0PFthsJ
And the self_filter.yaml file associated with it:

Any idea?

Cheers,
