ROS Driver Installation Before doing the following, make sure that the Kinetic version ROS environment is installed correctly. 1. Use the command to create the ydlidar_ws workspace and copy the ROS driver package ydlidar_ros_driver in the YDLIDAR package to the ydlidar_ws/src directory. Switch to the ydlidar_ws workspace and compile again. -
Page 9: Run Ros Package
Run ROS Package Run the corresponding launch file according to the lidar model, The command format is: $roslaunch ydlidar_ros_driver [launch file] Examples of use are as follows: X2 Lidar $ roslaunch ydlidar_ros_driver X2.launch X4 Lidar $ roslaunch ydlidar_ros_driver X4.launch G2 Lidar $ roslaunch ydlidar_ros_driver G2.launch G4/G5 Lidar $ roslaunch ydlidar_ros_driver lidar.launch... - Page 10 To modify the display range, you need to modify the configuration parameters in the launch file. The specific operation is as follows: 1. Go to launch directory and use vim to edit launch file of the corresponding Lidar model(take X4 as an example).

Page 11: Use Caution
USE CAUTION Temperature When the working environment temperature of YDLIDAR is too high or too low, it will affect the accuracy of the distance measuring system. It may also damage the structure of the scanning system and reduce the life of the YD lidar. Avoid use in high temperature (>40 degrees Celsius) and low temperature (<0 degrees Celsius) conditions.
