Dear all,

I am getting trying to connect SICK LMS200 to ROS, but get the following error after it finds the port, and the laser info.

Do you know if the scanner if working hardware-wise. Have you run another driver that works?

Yes, I have it working with a custom Java drivers @ 500K in 180 deg, with 1 deg resolution

It seems odd, that the driver says it found the sick at 38.4k. I don't know this driver, but maybe you have to configure the serial port manually by `setserial /dev/ttyUSB0 baud_base 500000 uart 16654`. I don't know if that works for USB or helps at all.

Did you figure it out? I'm getting the same error.

I don't think the sicktoolbox support the LMS100. See this mailing list thread about an LMS100 driver: http://code.ros.org/lurker/message/20100817.115932.63e6c490.en.html .
