For some xv_11_lidar, they need to send "startlds$" first to start scaning, so we can add it into the xv11_laser.cpp as follows:

after line 40, add:
boost::asio::write(serial_, boost::asio::buffer("startlds$",10));

I faced the problem, that the lidar doesn't send the data. Everything is fine and well wired, but instead of the data lidar sends me that:

Loader V2.4.13386
CPU F2802x/c600
Serial AAA42310AA-0004052
LastCal [2010140203]
Runtime V2.4.13386
#Spin...press ESC 3 times to abort.OK

I think that it is waiting for some commands, but I don't now what a command.
Does anyone faced such a problem?

Hi,
I bought a neato xv-11 last year and I now have time to interrest me on. So I tried some python scripts in order to make preliminary tests. And now I decided to implement it in ROS and on catkin_make I have troubles in the cmake with the ros-sensor-message :

Running command: "make cmake_check_build_system" in "/home/vsahler/catkin_ws/build"

So I tried an sudo apt install ros-sensor-msgs and it didn't work.

I had a lot of troubles while Installing ROS because I'm on mint 19. I had installed ROS on a ubuntu last year and I had no troubles while playing with this type of message

Hope you can help me

Would you mind releasing this package also for the newest distribution ROS Noetic? :)

Hi,
When will the ROS kinectic branch be launched on github. Any updates?

Thanks
Alex
