Hi,

Is the lidar published by another computer? Make sure to synchronize the clock (ntpdate) between the computers.

You can also show the TF tree to better see the time differences between frames.

rosrun tf2_tools view_frames.py

If you are replaying a bag, don't forget to set use_sim_time to true and launch bag with --clock.

cheers,
Mathieu
