FdRobot lidar FD015M

[Kim Olesen]

Hi

A few days ago I received a "waterproof" FdRobot lidar FD015M. It can be found on Aliexpress, price 145$.

ROS2 drivers can be found here:

Hi. Interesing Lidar you got there. Would you mind sharing your test result of Linorobot2 using FD015M ?

Hi

Lidar is working great indoor, i will test it outside in a few days.

Driver has a build issue but it is working..  i also edited the lasers.launch.py file to support lakibeam1 

install driver:

git clone https://gitee.com/richbeam/Lakibeam1-ROS2.git
cp -R Lakibeam1-ROS2/lakibeam1_ros2_v1_0_0 linorobot2_ws/src/lakibeam1
cd linorobot2_ws
cd src
colcon build
ain't working colcon build error .. try again
colcon build
finishes without error?

test:
ros2 launch lakibeam1 lakibeam1_scan_view.launch.py

Insert to lasers.launch.py, above the rplidar node

        Node(
            condition=LaunchConfigurationEquals('sensor', 'lakibeam'),
            package='lakibeam1',
            name='richbeam_lidar_node0',
            output='screen',
            executable='lakibeam1_scan_node',
            remappings=[('scan', LaunchConfiguration('topic_name'))],
            parameters=[{
                'frame_id': LaunchConfiguration('frame_id'),
                'output_topic': 'scan',
                'inverted': False,
                'hostip': "0.0.0.0",
                'port': "2368",
                'angle_offset': 0,
                'sensorip': "192.168.198.2",
                'scanfreq': "20",
                'filter': "3",
                'laser_enable': "true",
                'scan_range_start': "45",
                'scan_range_stop': "315",
            }]
        ),

change .bashrc laser sensor to:
export LINOROBOT2_LASER_SENSOR=lakibeam


Found another driver, same issue but also working:
git clone https://github.com/randykeithorton/lakibeam1.git

Hi,

Good work! It is great to know that more lidar can be use with linorobot2. Would you mind sharing your results in video?
