Using xv-11 lidar
Is anyone using the xv-11 lidar unit with their robot? I am in the process of incorporating the lidar unit with my bot and would like to share information.
Thank you

I have, Here's a rundown of what I've discovered. I was never able to get GMapping to draw a good map with it. HectorMapping did a decent job, but the maps were always slightly to big and the navigation stack never seem to work with them, my robot kept getting lost.
I ended up pulling out the tape measure and using gimp to draw a map of my house. Using my hand drawn map the xv-11 does a real good job of keeping my robot localized, I'm please with it.
Have you checked if the lidar measurements are biased and show higher distances than they should?
Yes, it works well with the navigation stack.
Two things to check, are you using the firmware version 2 option?
rosrun xv_11_laser_driver neato_laser_publisher _port:=/dev/ttyUSB0 _firmware_version:=2
and what is the average rpms from the following: rostopic echo /rpms
