It comes with a USB interface and terminal program in Windows is available. I believe there is just one message at up to 32 Hz.

We now have a basic one available (using cereal). Let us know if you are interested. The sensor works very nicely.

Do you have the code in a repository somewhere?

Just added it here. https://github.com/stevenwaslander/ro...

Nice. Thanks. Is the cereal pkg you included in any way different from the standard one?

Hi, the cereal package is used to read out the messages from the /dev/ttyUSB0 device. This is a catkinized version. I believe the one on wiki.ros.org is not. cheers Timo

Right, indeed. According to rosindex/cereal_port there are indeed no registered catkin versions. Perhaps you would be interested in releasing the one you migrated?

One of the authors (Gonçalo Cabrita) of cereal apparently has a catkinized version on his github account.

Thanks, have moved our catkinized version to a separate repo, likely very similar. https://github.com/stevenwaslander/ce...

Will the same for SF-40/C. Asked here http://answers.ros.org/question/22636...

We found the Node mentioned above, after we build our own for the LigthWare SF series: https://bitbucket.org/auengagroactu_s... Main difference is that we are using another way to do the serial interface.
