In order to use the ekf\_localization function, the setting of ‘enable\_odom\_tf’ in the default\_robot.yaml file was changed to False to disable odom\_tf broadcasting on motor\_node, but odim\_tf is still broadcasting from motor\_node. How to stop this tf?

This topic is a bit old, but if yet you didn’t discovered what you needed to do, basically the file that really changes the params are the robot.yaml on etc/ubiquity. At least on the latest ubiquity image.
