hdl_graph_slam_imu.launch: msf data too old

[ManChrys]

hello,

im using rs16 lidar and an imu. Im not looking for accuracy on this try but i want just integrate imu and lidar data so i want to see how it works.

when i run my launch file

i have the following message

msf data is too old

what's the reason about this error ? How can i fix this.

Also whats the fixed frame so i dont have errors like these 2?

Thanks in advance.

[don-thomas]

I was able to fix this problem by doing the following:

sudo apt install libgoogle-glog-dev 
cd ~/ros_workplace/src
git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/ethzasl_msf.git
cd .. && catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

[lidarmansiwon]

There is a imu error that occurs when using the mapping. Do I need to modify the msf_config.yaml file? It is currently using Lord 3DM and imu 9-axis ousters. The error is as shown in the picture below. Please help me
