Overview
The segbot_sensors package contains special-purpose drivers for the UTexas BWI segbots.
ROS interfaces
arduino_driver
This node reads serial messages from the Arduino board, converting data from various attached sensors into ROS messages.

-
battery0(sensor_msgs/BatteryState) -
Main segbot battery voltage measurements.
-
imu0(sensor_msgs/Imu) -
Acceleration data from the inertial measurement unit.
-
sonar(sensor_msgs/Range) -

-
/diagnostics(diagnostic_msgs/DiagnosticArray) -

Parameters
-
~baud(int, default: 115200) -
Baud rate for the Arduino serial port.
-
~port(string, default: /dev/ttyACM0) -
Serial port attached to the Arduino.
Usage
To run just this driver node:
$ rosrun segbot_sensors arduino_driver
ranges_to_cloud
This node converts sonar Range messages to point clouds.
Subscribed topics
-
sonar(sensor_msgs/Range) -
Sonar ranges for each attached device.
Published topics
-
sensor_ranges(sensor_msgs/PointCloud2) -

CHANGELOG
Changelog for package segbot_sensors
0.3.5 (2016-08-27)
0.3.4 (2016-08-08)
- unit test fixes (#65)
- fix roslint errors
- add missing dependency (#62)
- modifications to the battery estimator to accomodate values greater than that of which the model was fitted from
- updated the battery_diagnostics node to use a battery model if one exists on the segbot. If so, battery estimation times are added to diagnostics, otherwise its business as usual.
- modified naming system for diagnostic messages. Added python dependencies required by the battery_profiler.py
- segbot_v3: add robot monitor for diagnostics
- added additional flexability to the battery_diagnostics sendmail node that will now allow parameters to be set in the launch file to reflect local segbot differences (different threshold levels, etc). Appropriate values have been added for the segbot_v3 in its launchfile. The segbot_v3 controller now republishes battery information onto the topic assumed by the battery diagnostics.
- updated for hokuyo on segbot v3
- changed filter in velodyne launch script.
- added an outlier removal filter for the velodyne.
- added statistical outlier filter.
- switch from pointcloud to laserscan in navigation for the velodyne. Introduce the scan shadows filter.
- added velodyne launch files for version 3
- Contributors: Jack O'Quin, Maxwell Svetlik, Piyush Khandelwal

- partial fix to #48.
- segbot_sensors: lower bettery diagnostics smoothing parameter (#40)
- segbot_sensors: set rospy.Publisher queue_size (fixes #38)
- updated kinect launch file to work on both hydro and indigo.
- segbot_sensors: convert to package format two (#35)
- segbot_sensors: add missing diagnostics dependencies (#35) add launch check for diagnostics script
- segbot_sensors: separate basic arduino launch from test scaffolding (#35)
- segbot_sensors: use narrower sonar field of view, experimentally measured
- Contributors: Jack O'Quin, Maxwell Svetlik, Piyush Khandelwal
0.3.2 (2015-03-31)
0.3.1 (2015-03-24)
0.3.0 (2015-03-14)
- use different list of filters for segbot v1 and segbot v2 due to differences between different laser models.
- added a launch file for ethernet hokuyo for segbot v2.
- added some code to process low battery messages. The robots will now attempt to send an email if they're reaching low battery levels.
- big rework of all the arduino code to support the sensors on the new mounting plate.
- added some diagnostic publications.
- removed hack in nan_to_inf filter that was setting values to max_range - epsilon.

0.2.0 (2014-04-17)
- Release to Hydro.
- segbot_sensors: add explicit build dependency on nodelet.
- segbot_sensors: restore missing build dependencies (fixes #25).
- Added udev rules for segbot, and updated the kinect laserscan configuration.
- Removed catkin_lint errors. Modify parser so a single Arduino message can provide any subset of the sensors.
- sensor_ranges_driver: get port and baud from ROS parameters If port is not a tty, open as a regular file containing test data.
- segbot_sensors: add explicit message dependency to CMakeLists.txt.
- segbot_sensors: add no-op ranges to cloud nodelet.
- sensor_ranges_driver: ignore non-ASCII characters sent from device.

- adding convenience vizualization launch file
- now using only 50 pixels for depthimage_to_laserscan

- freenect_launch has been released into hydro, uncommenting run_depend in package.xml
- finished catkinizing segbot_sensors #6
- catkinizing against hydro. progress towards #6
- added NanToInf to exported plugins list
- fixed filters to split off footprint exclusion from processing nan values
- converting nans from the sensor to positive infinite - feature used by new costmap_2d to assume no readings are empty
- using entire height of kinect to generate laserscan. This does mean we get some points from the ground. need to improve filters to handle this
- checking in configuration code not committed last time
- chaning laser range to front 150 degrees

- fixed a bug in kinect.launch, also added device_id as a parameter
- some basic fixes to the hokuyo launch stuff - requires some testing on the actual hokuyo
- changed the custom version of openni.launch to use kinect_frames from freenect_launch. This allows having a top level namespace in the kinect frames as well
- fixed file permissions, also added a tf link from the base of the laser to the the laser itself
- fixed a number of tf_prefix related issues

- some launch file reorganization
- added a separate package to hold launch files for sensors, mostly while kinect issues are sorted out
