Overview

Velodyne1 is a collection of ROS2 packages supporting Velodyne high definition 3D LIDARs3.

Warning:

The <ros_distro>-devel branch normally contains code being tested for the next ROS release. It will not always work with every previous release. To check out the source for the most recent release, check out the tag ros2-<version> with the highest version number.

The current dashing-devel branch works with ROS Dashing.

  • 2ROS: http://www.ros.org
  • 3Velodyne high definition 3D LIDARs: http://www.velodynelidar.com/lidar/lidar.aspx

ROS 2 Middleware (RMW) Note:

For users encountering networking or performance issues with high-bandwidth sensors (such as data loss, discussed in Issue #557), switching the default ROS 2 middleware may resolve the problem.

This package is compatible with alternative RMW implementations. You can follow the official ROS 2 documentation on how to install and select a different middleware.
