Supported Software
This node works with any node outputting teraRanger/RangeArray.msg type like Teraranger-Tower or Teraranger-Hub
WARNING: This package depends on URDF description of the sensor setup. Please use the teraranger_description package for this disponible here: https://github.com/Terabee/teraranger_description
Nodes
teraranger_array_converter
The purpose of this node is to take tf information from tf_tree (often generated by urdf file) to automatically generate point cloud or laser scanSubscribed Topics
/ranges (teraranger_array/RangeArray)- Provides range readings from all sensors in single RangeArray
Published Topics
/scan (sensor_msgs/LaserScan)- This will try to generate a scan from sensors output
- This will try to generate a pointcloud from sensors output
- This will output the ranges one by one on a unique topic
Parameters
Static Parameters
- This parameter is used to choose between modes of conversion: laser_scan, point_cloud, individual_ranges or sequential_ranges
- This parameter is needed if you want to cherry-pick sensor for the conversion
Running
To launch the converter simply run:
rosrun teraranger_array_converter teraranger_array_converter _converter_mode:=<laser_scan>|<point_cloud>|<individual_ranges>|<sequential_ranges>
