Package Summary

ROS driver for the Applanix Position and Orientation System for Land Vehicles (POS-LV).

Deprecated

This package is fairly specific to the POS-LV device used in the ART autonomous vehicle. For a long time, it was the only Applanix driver available in ROS.

Now, there is a more-complete implementation called applanix_driver, developed by Clearpath Robotics with help from Applanix engineers. We recommend using that driver instead of this one for new applications.

Applanix Odometry driver

Usage

  rosrun applanix odometry [options]

Options:
    -f <filename>  PCAP packet dump file name (default: use real device)
    -h, -?         print help text
    -q <integer>   set ROS topic queue depth (default: 1)
    -t <filename>  run unit test with fake data from <filename>

Examples

Read the Applanix POS-LV, publishing gps and odom messages.

$ rosrun applanix odometry

Read previously captured Applanix packets from dump.pcap file.

$ rosrun applanix odometry -f dump.pcap
