Revision history [back]

As they both output a sensor_msgs/LaserScan message, swapping the sensor out should be pretty straightforward. You will need to run a different driver node for the TiM, and you may have to change some parameters in connected nodes if the range of the TiM or other specs are different. That is one of the advantages to ROS, everything is modular and therefore hardware can be changed with minimal fuss.
