Rviz unable to visualize lidar map created by slam_toolbox #1279

Open iCaran opened 1 week ago

iCaran commented 1 week ago

I am running Ros2 Jazzy on Ubuntu 24 on a Raspberry Pi 5. I have attached an RPLidar A1M8 to it. I want to use it to create a map of my environment, for that, I'm using the Slam_Toolbox.

But I encounter some errors while trying to visualize the map in Rviz2.

Here's my process:

Terminal 1:

$ ros2 launch rplidar_ros rplidar.launch.py

Ignore the libthrottle_node.so warning, I was trying to create a throttled /scan topic with less frequency (i thought of trying to start with 1/sec), so as to try to not overwhelm my Pi5, but even with Ros2 topic_tools properly installed and the libthrottle_node.so in the correct place, for some reason I keep getting this error. If someone could help me with that it would be great help.

Terminal 2:

This is the error part, when I open Rviz2, and subscribe to the /map topic, for the first second, a map begins to take shape, and then this error happens and the map stops to update any further. I have checked by scanning the /scan topic after the crash, and it is fine, it's rviz which is having trouble visualizing the map. See the image below:

enter image description here

I have done:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1

due to some suggestions I read online while trying to debug this issue, but these don't seem to work. I'm not sure if all of this is important, but here are my slam_toolbox params for the lidar, as i read that maybe decreasing the resolution may help with the issue:

I found a question exactly similar to mine, but it has no responses. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77907899/error-while-visualizing-map-from-slam-toolbox-on-rviz

i dont think it's my pi specific either, i tried

export ROS_DOMAIN_ID=0
export ROS_LOCALHOST_ONLY=0
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://<pi-ip>:11311
export ROS_HOSTNAME=<laptop-ip>

and then ran rviz on my ubuntu 22, ros humble, i7-gtx1650 laptop. I subscrivbed to /map there and i got the exact same behaviour and result, the same partial map formation and freezing on rviz and the same error on the terminal
