sick_scan_xd

This project provides a driver for the SICK LiDARs and Radar sensors mentioned here. The driver supports both Linux (native, ROS1, ROS2) and Windows (native and ROS2). See the CHANGELOG.md for the latest updates.

Table of Contents

Executive Summary

  • sick_scan_xd supports
    • ROS1 (Linux)
    • ROS2 (Linux and Windows)
    • a Driver for generic use (Linux and Windows native)
    • a API for C/C++ or python applications
  • sick_scan_xd provides a driver for the SICK LiDARs and Radar sensors mentioned here.
  • sick_scan_xd is designed to easily integrate new devices, features and improvements on all targets.
  • sick_scan_xd has no dependencies to 3rd party libraries like boost or pthread.
  • sick_scan_xd offers all features on all targets if the devices support the features.
  • sick_scan_xd is developed and tested for x86 architecture. ARM architecture (e.g. Raspberry platform) are neither fully tested nor officially supported.

Build targets

sick_scan_xd can be build on Linux and Windows, with and without ROS, with and without LDMRS. The following table shows the allowed combinations and how to build.

target cmake settings build script
Linux, native, LDMRS BUILD_WITH_LDMRS_SUPPORT ON cd test/scripts && chmod a+x ./*.bash && ./makeall_linux.bash
Linux, native, no LDMRS BUILD_WITH_LDMRS_SUPPORT OFF cd test/scripts && chmod a+x ./*.bash && ./makeall_linux_no_ldmrs.bash
Linux, ROS-1, LDMRS BUILD_WITH_LDMRS_SUPPORT ON cd test/scripts && chmod a+x ./*.bash && ./makeall_ros1.bash
Linux, ROS-1, no LDMRS BUILD_WITH_LDMRS_SUPPORT OFF cd test/scripts && chmod a+x ./*.bash && ./makeall_ros1_no_ldmrs.bash
Linux, ROS-2, LDMRS BUILD_WITH_LDMRS_SUPPORT ON cd test/scripts && chmod a+x ./*.bash && ./makeall_ros2.bash
Linux, ROS-2, no LDMRS BUILD_WITH_LDMRS_SUPPORT OFF cd test/scripts && chmod a+x ./*.bash && ./makeall_ros2_no_ldmrs.bash
Windows, native, no LDMRS BUILD_WITH_LDMRS_SUPPORT OFF cd test\scripts && make_win64.cmd
Windows, ROS-2, no LDMRS BUILD_WITH_LDMRS_SUPPORT OFF cd test\scripts && make_ros2.cmd

If you're using ROS, set your ROS-environment before running one of these scripts, f.e.

  • source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash for ROS-1 noetic, or
  • source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash for ROS-1 melodic, or
  • source /opt/ros/eloquent/setup.bash for ROS-2 eloquent, or
  • source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash for ROS-2 foxy.

See the build descriptions for more details:

Driver API

sick_scan_xd provides a C API, which can be used by any programming language with C-bindings, e.g. in C/C++ or python applications. See sick_scan_api.md for further details.

IMU Support

Devices of the MRS6xxx and MRS1xxx series are available with an optionally built-in IMU. Further information on the implementation and use of the experimental Imu support can be found on the Imu page.

Radar support

See radar documentation for RMSxxxx support.

multiScan100 support

See sick_scan_segment_xd for multiScan100 support.

Software PLL

A software pll is used to convert LiDAR timestamps in ticks to the ros system time. See software_pll for further details.

Field Evaluation Information

The LMS1xx, LMS5xx, TiM7xx and TiM7xxS families support extensions for field monitoring. See field_monitoring_extensions for further details.

Run sick_scan_xd driver

See USAGE how to run and configure the sick_scan_xd driver.
