Setup:

Phone -> pointcloud2 -> laser_scan_matcher package -> topic android/imu and others

Making bag file:

Terminal 1: $ roscore Terminal 2: $ rostopic list -v: android/imu topic exists Terminal 2: $ rostopic echo /android/imu: not empty Terminal 2: $ rosbag record -a: record all

Looking at the rosbag:

Terminal 3: $rqt_bag > navigate to folder where bagfile is located, open bagfile.

/imu topic is filled with blue. Right click > view > Raw > completely empty.

Question

I'm a novice. Why is /imu empty?

rosbag play your bag from the command line and see if you can echo imu out of that. I think with rqt_bag you have to click forward or back arrows so the cursor will be on a message and not in-between them.

Nope. Nothing. I don't understand.

Check if all your bags are empty (check the other topics) and try recording only /imu topic.
