MID 360 LiDAR Integration in ROS2

Prabuddhi-05 opened this issue · 1 comments

I am currently working on integrating the MID 360 LiDAR into a ROS 2 environment. I have successfully operated the LiDAR with Windows application and ROS1.

Here's a brief overview of my setup and the problem I'm facing:

Setup Details:
Host IP: 192.168.1.50
LiDAR IP: 192.168.1.102

IPs

ROS 2 Environment:
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
ROS 2 Distribution: Humble

Software Installation:
Installed Livox SDK 2 from https://github.com/Livox-SDK/Livox-SDK2
Installed livox_ros_driver2 from https://github.com/Livox-SDK/livox_ros_driver2

Configuration:
Edited the IP addresses for both the host and LiDAR in the MID360_config.json file to match the IP settings.

Problem Description:
When I launch the rviz_MID360_launch.py script, which is intended to configure RViz for visualizing LiDAR data, I encounter an issue: the point cloud is not displayed in RViz.

I've performed various checks, such as verifying network connectivity, and ensuring the accuracy of the IP configuration. However, I haven't been able to resolve the issue on my own.

The issue was resolved by turning off the firewall to ensure that some of the ports were no longer blocked.
