Week8

By Sara Pombinho

This time I started testing the sensors :

  • Sick LMS151 LIDAR
  • Point grey Flea2 camera
  • Sick LD MRS LIDAR

Starting with the first in the list:

I had some difficulties in testing this sensor because I changed the IP address of the LIDAR when testing it with the SOPAS enginnering tool in Windows, so I needed to change it back. After that it was only needed to create a static IP address in the range of the IP of the LIDAR and run the roslaunch file.

The results of the LMS151 LIDAR:

LIDAR_LMS151

The cameras where only tested using the flycap program, for that I launched the roslaunch file for the drivers of the camera and when entering the flycap program they were working.

Here’s the result:

The LIDAR LD MRS was supposed to be the hardest of the three, but I had so many complications with the other two that this one was the easiest. After following the tutorial to install the drivers I just launched the roslaunch file and got the values of the LIDAR:
