No frame update on sick_tim551 about sick_tim HOT 7 CLOSED

Here is how you do it:

<launch>
  <node name="sick_tim551_2050001" pkg="sick_tim" type="sick_tim551_2050001" respawn="false" output="screen">
      <param name="frame_id" type="str" value="my_laser" />
  </node>
</launch>

from sick_tim.

Oh, and you can check that it's working by running rostopic echo /scan and checking the frame_id.

Indeed on the topic, it's the correct frame.
But I have checked on the tf monitor and the tf tree.
Also I use the launch file of the sick_tim551.

If it's wrong in the tf tree, it's on your side, check your URDF.
The modifications to the launch file proposed by mintar are for the sick_tim551.

For the example, do I have to change it in the robot_description and the urdf linked to the package ?

If you use our urdf macro, change it like: <xacro:sick_tim310 name="my_laser" ros_topic="scan" />, name is the tf name.

Thanks.
