This refers to the CWRU package for the XV-11 LDS.
I got rviz to work using fixed frame "neato_laser" and topic "scan" I am using a variable voltage regulator to control the speed and the data is intermittent. About a 1/3 of the time I get valid data, and the rest of the time I get noise. Not sure if this is due to a speed control problem, interface or a faulty sensor. It was working much better with Fergie's neato_node but the XV-11 main board stopped talking on the USB.
I built it in Groovy using just 'make' in a ros_workspace. Not sure how Dillo built his, but his data looks much cleaner. I am going to try a becnh vailable power supply to see if that helps.
Procedure:
git clone the cwru package -> make semi-stable, make xv_11_laser_driver. source the setup.bash - check to see that you can find the driver.
