I would like to create a sensor package for a custom made sensor.

Is there any tutorial on how to create such a package? The sensor is a ring of IR transmitter and receiver.

Do you want to know how to create a package (like coding the package) or how to add it to the ROS packages ?

I would like to create a sensor like these examples: http://wiki.ros.org/Sensors After creating it, I would be implementing it on the robot that I have.

What I meant in my question is the philosophy behind creating such a driver/package for the sensor. i.e. where do the authors start from? I have done the tutorials before.

Ups sorry I misunderstood your question...

This does not answer the question at all. THe Question clearly emphasizes sensor packages. Should not be marked as the correct answer
