Setup car model/TF for use in RVIZ #8

Closed frk2 closed 6 years ago

For help in visualizing radar tracks to test:

  1. Launch rviz2
  2. launch src/launch/all_launch.py
J-Rojas commented 6 years ago

There's no file src/launch/all_launch.launch in the repo. Did you forget to add it?

J-Rojas commented 6 years ago

BTW, this new LaunchDescription is bleeding edge (just added to ROS2 last week). It requires use of compiling ROS2 from the master branch until Bouncy is released. We should update the docs to make that clear.

frk2 commented 6 years ago

Yeah totally bleeding edge. This stuff is gonna be part of the next stable release so makes sense to switch to it now.

I've upgraded to 18.04, built ROS2 from source. I'm unable to use 'launch src/launch/all_launch.py' However I can use ros2 launch src/launch/all_launch.py. I don't see any meshes in rviz2. What should I do to see the car model?

J-Rojas commented 6 years ago

There's a hard-coded path the the mesh in the default.rviz file. This will have to be solved at the some point. Merging since this doesn't affect operation.
