Hi @marip8, We would suggest that you might use a no-op transformation to the frame you need, to integrate the camera into your URDF (if you can't change it). |

Currently the driver sets the
frame_idof the published point cloud equal to the specifiedframe_id_baseparameter plus the substring_link. Thenodelet.launchfile then creates a static transform publisher from this link to the optical frame. This is problematic when using the IFM in the context of an existing URDF (i.e. IFM mounted to a robot):nodelet.launchcreates a disconnected TF tree because the parent frame with the appended substring is unlikely to already existThese issues result in both visualization errors in Rviz and transformation errors when using TF to transform the cloud.
This PR changes the driver and launch file to use the specified
frame_id_baseparameter directly as theframe_idof the point cloud itself. This change resolves the two issues described above and maintains the current functionality in the case that the IFM is launched by itself.
