The view_direction and view_width parameters updated for HDL32 doesn't seem to work. Has anyone tried it?

Are you installing the binary driver packages, or building it yourself from source?

I'm building them from source

It works for me.

Run the driver in one terminal (with a PCAP or using the raw device):

roslaunch velodyne_pointcloud 32e_points.launch pcap:=~/Downloads/velodyne/32e.pcap

Run rviz in another.

In a third terminal run rqt.

select Plugins>>Configuration>>Dynamic Reconfigure
click on the cloud_nodelet
set view_width to something less than 2*PI
set view_direction to the desired angle (0 is straight ahead)
