In order to establish a connection of the Laserscanner SICK LMS111 to ROS Kinetic several steps have to be performed. \begin{itemize} 1.Supply the Sensor and connect it to the ethernet port a system running Windows. 2. Install SICK SOPAS Engineering tool and execute it. 3. Configure the Paramters in the SICK Software SOPAS. That means define a ethernet ip adress and adjust measuring parameters. 4.Install the sick toolbox wrapper: $ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-lms1xx 5. In Ubuntu under Settings configure the wired connection to be different than the IP of the laserscanner. The IP of the laserscanner can be obtained by \textbf{sudo ifconfig}. 6. Make sure that the connection between ubuntu and the LMS is established in Ubuntu. (You can see this in the Network Settings) 7. $ roscore 8. In order to establish a connection use a new terminal and enter \textbf{rosrun lms1xx LMS1xx_node _ host:=[IP of the scanner obtained from sudo ifconfig]} has to be used. 9.When using rviz: the fixed frame in global options has to be set to laser and a LaserScan display has to be added with the topic /scan enabled.
