Hello ROS users,
If I have a wheel encoder(Vehicle's hall sensor), and I want to input the signal to my ROS computer. But there is no information about it. Does anyone know that? Do I need to use the other board to receive that? I will be thankful if someone can give me some direction. Thanks in advanced.
In this case you have to convert encoder ticks into nav_msgs/Odometry Messages. Take a look at navigation/Tutorials/RobotSetup/Odom in the wiki to basically understand what is required.
Which might be (there a multiple options available):
Depending on your vehicle you might also be able to use the differential_drive package.
If you publish both, the position of your lidar relative to the robot and the position of the robot as tf tf (as described in the Odometry tutorial), then yes, you also have the position of the lidar in the odom frame and rviz will display it properly.
@Humpelstilzchen If I use arduino board to get the hall sensor and I also launch the lidar, and then connect to the rviz, when I move the wheels and because the effect of the hall sensor, the location of my in the rviz will move,too?
I have the same doubt. Will the location move too?
What location? Please note that this is a three year old question. Better open a new one.

More information please: What "other board" are you talking about?
Usually one has to convert the hardware specific hall sensor into a ros /odom message.
@Humpelstilzchen, such as this arduino board. Because I don't have the specific hall sensor for ROS but my case just need to input the signal of hall sensor and Gyro...etc., so I need a interface to input these sensor signals. Thanks.
