Velodyne ROS 2 driver

This is a ROS 2 driver for Velodyne devices. It currently supports the 64E(S2, S2.1, S3), the 32E, the 32C, and the VLP-16. This driver is responsible for taking the data from the Velodyne and combining it into one message per revolution. To turn that raw data into a pointcloud or laserscan, see the velodyne_pointcloud and velodyne_laserscan packages.

Published Topics

  • /velodyne_packets (velodyne_msgs/VelodyneScan) - The raw data from one full revolution of the sensor.

Parameters

  • device_ip (string) - The IP address that the Velodyne is on. From the factory, this is 192.168.1.201.
  • gps_time (bool) - Whether to use data capture time from a GPS, or from the local time. Should only be set to True if a GPS is attached to the Velodyne. False by default.
  • time_offset (double) - An arbitrary "skew", in seconds, to add to the acquisition timestamp. Defaults to 0.0.
  • enabled (bool) - Whether the device should start-up enabled or not. Defaults to True.
  • read_once (bool) - Whether to only playback the data once (True) or continuously (False). Only used in PCAP playback mode. Defaults to False.
  • read_fast (bool) - Whether to output the data as fast as possible, (True), or sleep the appropriate delay between packets (False). Only used in PCAP playback mode. Defaults to False.
  • repeat_delay (double) - The time to wait between repeats in continuous playback mode. Only used in PCAP playback mode. Defaults to 0.0.
  • frame_id (string) - The frame_id to use when constructing the header for the packet to be published. Defaults to "velodyne".
  • model (string) - The model number of the Velodyne attached. This should be one of 64E, 64E_S2, 64E_S2.1, 64E_S3, 32E, 32C, or VLP16. Defaults to 64E.
  • rpm (double) - The RPM that the Velodyne is configured for. Note that this is descriptive, not prescriptive, so this should be set to match the value configured through the Velodyne web interface.
  • pcap (string) - The PCAP playback file to use to playback data from. Only used in PCAP playback mode. Defaults to the empty string.
  • cut_angle (double) - The azimuth angle at which to declare a single rotation complete. If this is less than 0, then a fixed number of packets (device-dependent) is used per rotation. This mostly works, but can vary because of variations in the hardware. If a positive number <= 2*Pi, a rotation will be declared "complete" when the azimuth reported by the device reaches that value. Defaults to -1.0.
  • port (int) - The port on which to receive data from the Velodyne. From the factory, the Velodyne is configured to publish data on 2368. Defaults to 2368.

Velodyne ROS 2 driver

This is a ROS 2 driver for Velodyne devices. It currently supports the 64E(S2, S2.1, S3), the 32E, the 32C, and the VLP-16. This driver is responsible for taking the data from the Velodyne and combining it into one message per revolution. To turn that raw data into a pointcloud or laserscan, see the velodyne_pointcloud and velodyne_laserscan packages.

Published Topics

  • /velodyne_packets (velodyne_msgs/VelodyneScan) - The raw data from one full revolution of the sensor.

Parameters

  • device_ip (string) - The IP address that the Velodyne is on. From the factory, this is 192.168.1.201.
  • gps_time (bool) - Whether to use data capture time from a GPS, or from the local time. Should only be set to True if a GPS is attached to the Velodyne. False by default.
  • time_offset (double) - An arbitrary "skew", in seconds, to add to the acquisition timestamp. Defaults to 0.0.
  • enabled (bool) - Whether the device should start-up enabled or not. Defaults to True.
  • read_once (bool) - Whether to only playback the data once (True) or continuously (False). Only used in PCAP playback mode. Defaults to False.
  • read_fast (bool) - Whether to output the data as fast as possible, (True), or sleep the appropriate delay between packets (False). Only used in PCAP playback mode. Defaults to False.
  • repeat_delay (double) - The time to wait between repeats in continuous playback mode. Only used in PCAP playback mode. Defaults to 0.0.
  • frame_id (string) - The frame_id to use when constructing the header for the packet to be published. Defaults to "velodyne".
  • model (string) - The model number of the Velodyne attached. This should be one of 64E, 64E_S2, 64E_S2.1, 64E_S3, 32E, 32C, or VLP16. Defaults to 64E.
  • rpm (double) - The RPM that the Velodyne is configured for. Note that this is descriptive, not prescriptive, so this should be set to match the value configured through the Velodyne web interface.
  • pcap (string) - The PCAP playback file to use to playback data from. Only used in PCAP playback mode. Defaults to the empty string.
  • cut_angle (double) - The azimuth angle at which to declare a single rotation complete. If this is less than 0, then a fixed number of packets (device-dependent) is used per rotation. This mostly works, but can vary because of variations in the hardware. If a positive number <= 2*Pi, a rotation will be declared "complete" when the azimuth reported by the device reaches that value. Defaults to -1.0.
  • port (int) - The port on which to receive data from the Velodyne. From the factory, the Velodyne is configured to publish data on 2368. Defaults to 2368.

  • Updating for first Galactic release

  • Minor fixes to string formatting. (#396) These changes will allow velodyne to compile without warnings on Rolling (soon to be Galactic). The changes are also backwards compatible to Foxy if we want to backport them.

  • Added a periodic update of the diagnostics so that when no data is received at all from the Velodyne, a diagnostic information will be published. The previous implementation would publish diagnostics only on packet reception.
  • Merge pull request #139 from ASDeveloper00/vlp32 Adding support for VLP-32C.
  • Merge pull request #138 from volkandre/cut_at_specified_angle_feature
  • cut_angle parameter is now in rad according to REP 103
  • Fixed timestamp related bug found by \@cfneuhaus, which was described here: https://github.com/ros-drivers/velodyne/pull/126#discussion_r154137793
  • bugfix: when no device ip is set, we still want to filter by udp port.
