TF and map problem with amcl and move_base

[dingo erz'rt]

Warning: Invalid argument "/map" passed to canTransform argument target_frame in tf2 frame_ids cannot start with a '/' like: 

         at line 134 in /tmp/binarydeb/ros-kinetic-tf2-0.5.19/src/buffer_core.cpp

when running navigate.launch

i remove them "/" in global_costmap_params.yaml

this file

https://github.com/linorobot/linorobot/blob/master/param/navigation/global_costmap_params.yaml

global_costmap:

  global_frame: map

  robot_base_frame: base_footprint

i changed them in local_costmap aswell

the next error i get is (with or without / in local_costmap_params)

[ WARN] [1545254468.852913370]: Timed out waiting for transform from base_footprint to map to become available before running costmap, tf error: canTransform: target_frame map does not exist.. canTransform returned after 0.100723 timeout was 0.1.

i can see the map i made earlier in rviz

and i can seet the robot TF

depending on what global frame i set

no tf from map to the rest ofcourse

i changed the static transforms to also not include /

    <node pkg="tf2_ros" type="static_transform_publisher" name="base_footprint_to_base_link" args="0 0 0.03125 0 0 0  base_footprint base_link"/>

same "Timed out waiting for transform" error

in rqt topic monitor, nothing is published (unknown), everywhere else is ok

rqt even crashes when monitoring the /map topic.

the only difference i have with the tutorials is only running ros_serial and rplidar launch files on robot, all the rest runs on a laptop

(maybe i can try and run everything on the robot and only rviz /rqt on the master - laptop)

some google-fu says to run crony for time sync issues (not sure this is a time sync issue)

and i could try and redo the map making, maybe there is an issue there

otherwise i'm without ideas :(

so would appreciate some pointers, thx

followed your tutorial

works perfect now
