Ouster LiDAR Plugin =================== The Ouster plugin provides driver support for Ouster OS-1 series LiDAR sensors, enabling point cloud and IMU data acquisition. Overview -------- The Ouster plugin connects to Ouster LiDAR sensors over Ethernet, streaming point cloud and IMU data at configurable rates. It supports various resolution and scan rate modes. Supported Sensors ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * Ouster OS-1-32 (32 scan lines) Configuration ------------- Configuration File ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Location: ``raisin_ouster_plugin/config/ouster32.yaml`` .. code-block:: yaml sensor_hostname: "169.254.16.143" lidar_mode: "1024x10" lidar_port: 0 imu_port: 0 sensor_frame: "os_sensor" lidar_frame: "os_lidar" imu_frame: "os_imu" publish_rate: 10.0 Parameter Reference ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 :widths: 25 15 15 45 * - Parameter - Type - Default - Description * - sensor_hostname - string - "169.254.16.143" - IP address of the Ouster sensor * - lidar_mode - string - "1024x10" - Resolution and scan rate * - lidar_port - int - 0 - LiDAR data port (0 = auto-detect) * - imu_port - int - 0 - IMU data port (0 = auto-detect) * - sensor_frame - string - "os_sensor" - TF frame ID for sensor * - lidar_frame - string - "os_lidar" - TF frame ID for LiDAR * - imu_frame - string - "os_imu" - TF frame ID for IMU * - publish_rate - double - 10.0 - Output publishing rate (Hz) LiDAR Modes ^^^^^^^^^^^ The ``lidar_mode`` parameter controls resolution and scan rate: .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 :widths: 30 35 35 * - Mode - Resolution - Scan Rate * - 512x10 - 512 columns - 10 Hz * - 512x20 - 512 columns - 20 Hz * - 1024x10 - 1024 columns - 10 Hz * - 1024x20 - 1024 columns - 20 Hz * - 2048x10 - 2048 columns - 10 Hz Message Topics -------------- Publishers ^^^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 :widths: 30 30 40 * - Topic - Type - Description * - /ouster/points - sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 - Raw LiDAR point cloud * - /ouster/imu - sensor_msgs/Imu - IMU measurements Usage ----- Network Setup ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1. Connect Ouster sensor to your computer via Ethernet 2. Configure your network interface to be on the same subnet as the sensor 3. Default sensor IP is typically ``169.254.x.x`` (link-local) Loading the Plugin ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Add to your ``params.yaml``: .. code-block:: yaml plugin: raisin_ouster_plugin: rate: 10 Verifying Connection ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Check that point clouds are being published using ``raisin_cli`` (see :ref:`using-raisin-cli` for details): .. code-block:: bash # In raisin_cli list # Check available servers and get server_id con # Connect using server_id from list output list # List all available topics sub
