Revision history [back]

Looking at the source code for the bag_to_pcd node, the file names are constructed using the timestamp of the point-clouds in the bag file. It's possible that the Livox mid-40 lidar driver you're using isn't adding the timestamp to the topic, which would result in the same file 0.000000000.pcd1 being overwritten repeatedly.

You should be able to check if this is the case by playing back the back file and echoing the lidar point-cloud topic which data disabled using the command below:

rostopic echo /livox/lidar --noarr

If you see the timestamps are always zero then you've confirmed this is the problem. If so the first thing to check is if there is a way to get the driver to start publishing this information. If not you'll have to either add artificial timestamps yourself, or modify the bag_to_pcd node.
