Plotjuggler does not show correct values with ROS1

[NR-Daichi]

Problem description

When plotjuggler is subscribing odometry topic with ROS1, the values in pose/pose/position and pose/pose/orientation are very huge values (> trillion) or 0
For the details, please watch the attached video

Kazam_screencast_00000.mp4

Joint_states topics are fine, Plotjuggler displays the right values

Steps to reproduce (important)

Platform: Ubuntu 20.04, ROS1

Step 1:
install ros plugins by following the instructions written on this page ("How to compile PlotJuggler from source")
https://github.com/PlotJuggler/plotjuggler-ros-plugins

Step 2:
launch plotjuggler and subscribe odometry topic

If anyone knows the way to run plotjuggler with ros1 on ubuntu 20.04, please let me know

Can you zip up a short rosbag of your odom topic and attach it here?

I get the same bug with apt-installed plotjuggler on Ubuntu 20.04/Noetic.

Sample odom topic values that get displayed as the nonsense:

x: 82.09575053694694
y: -8.41266412125995
z: -0.08068917743157186

Combination of PJ 3.8.5 from testing and PJ-ROS 1.7.0 from snapshot 2023-11-15 works.

It started happening recently with me as well on ROS1 on ubuntu 20.04 apt installed version. I may have done an apt upgrade, I dont remember.
Interestingly, Issue is with nav_msgs/Odometry position values. like mentioned in above image.

Please have a look at the odometry topic (ex. /right_foot_BF_pin/pose/pose/position/x )

I could plot them with rqt_plot

This suddenly happen to me as well. In my case, the Odometry/Twist / Twist / linear is also not correct

Thank you Davide.

Can confirm this issue also happens in ROS2.

The values shown in plotjuggler does not match the topic echo.

Problem fixed in 3.8.6

Unless you are using that version, don't duplicate this issue
