Revision history [back]

If your laser scanners are aligned in one plane, then I think the simplest solution would be to write your own laser scan assembler. It would be trivial to write. Or you could modify the existing laser_assembler to output a LaserScan message, but I don't know if that requires adding an assumption of co-planar lasers that it doesn't currently have.
