Laser scanner SICK S300 header not found

edit

Hello,

I am trying to read a SICK S300 laser scanner in ROS Melodic (Ubuntu 18.04), using this driver: https://github.com/bohlender/sicks300 . But I get a continuous:

[ WARN] [1615479969.794178058]: SerialCommS300: Warning: skipping 1 bytes, header not found

When I do hexdump /dev/ttyUSB0 I don't see any pattern matching the header as specified by the telegram either. The header should start with 0000 0000 0000 .

The serial port has stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 -a:

speed 500000 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>;
start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; discard = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

In the CDS configuration from SICK I have:

• Continuous data output
• Baud 500K
• Only 1 telegram (no I/O)
• Measured data output: Distance
• No trigger event, no I/O data output
• Silent time 5000 ms

Any information regarding any clues or experience you might have with these type of laser scanners will be much appreciated :)

Thanks!
