How to use in ROS2

[vcozzolino]

Hi,

I have installed successfully all the packages on ROS2 Humble with Ubuntu 22.04.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to run the map creation. I tried looking online but I can't find much information. Assuming that I have Gazebo open with a robot deployed in it, what do I have to launch to start the data collection from the point cloud? Which scripts do I have to invoke?

I have tried with ros2 launch octomap_server ... with different .xml files.. but I guess I'm missing something.

Is the issue solved ?

On Humble, I'm trying to generate an octomap using the following command:
ros2 run octomap_server octomap_server_node --ros-args -r cloud_in:=/amr_1/pcd_map -p frame_id:=map
but I'm getting this :

[INFO] [1732100713.304798138] [octomap_server]: Publishing latched (single publish will take longer, all topics are prepared)
[WARN] [1732100713.310499430] [octomap_server]: Nothing to publish, octree is empty

...

I'm using a 3D lidar SLAM that publishes a pointcoloud2 topic (/amr_1/pcd_map). Not really sure how to address this.
