ROS node and test application for YDLIDAR

Visit EAI Website for more details about YDLIDAR.

How to build YDLIDAR ros package

1) Clone this project to your catkin's workspace src folder
2) Running catkin_make to build ydlidar_node and ydlidar_client
3) Create the name "/dev/ydlidar" for YDLIDAR
--$ roscd ydlidar/startup
--$ sudo chmod 777 ./*
--$ sudo sh initenv.sh

How to run YDLIDAR ros package

There're two ways to run YDLIDAR ros package

  1. Run YDLIDAR node and view in the rviz

roslaunch ydlidar lidar_view.launch

You should see YDLIDAR's scan result in the rviz.

  1. Run YDLIDAR node and view using test application

roslaunch ydlidar lidar.launch

rosrun ydlidar ydlidar_client

You should see YDLIDAR's scan result in the console
