Sick TIM571 is transmitting too few datas
Hello,
I'm working with the Sick TIM571 Lidar with ROS-Kinetic on Ubuntu and I'm using the Sick-Tim-ROS-Package. The connection via ethernet works fine and I'm getting distance-datas from the Lidar.
The TIM571 has an angular resolution of 0.333° with an opening angle of 270°. So the lidar should deliver 810 distances.
The problem is, that I'm only getting 270 distances from the lidar.
In the Sopas Tool on Windows the angular resolution is set so 0.333° and I can't change that.
I would be very pleased if someone could help me with that Issue.
I am experiencing the same issue with both the older
sick_tim
package and the newer SICK AG supportedsick_scan
driver package.Please see this GitHub issue.
Update: see my post below for resolution.
