i want to use 2 omron laser scanners but the following code doesn't work: 

<launch> 
<node ns="first" pkg="omron_os32c_driver" type="omron_os32c_node" name="omron_os32c_node"> 
<param name="host" value="192.162.0.10"/> 
<param name="frame_id" value="laser1"/> 
<param name="start_angle" value="1.0471975512" /> 
<param name="end_angle" value="-1.0471975512" /> 
<remap from="scan" to="scan1">
</node> 
<node ns="second" pkg="omron_os32c_driver" type="omron_os32c_node" name="omron_os32c_node_2"> 
<param name="host" value="192.162.0.11"/> 
<param name="frame_id" value="laser2"/> 
<param name="start_angle" value="1.0471975512" /> 
<param name="end_angle" value="-1.0471975512" /> 
<remap from="scan" to="scan2">
</node>
</launch>

have someone an idea how launch 2 same node simultaneously? thanks.

Edit:

started roslaunch server http://localhost:57492/

What do you mean by saying "doesnt work"? Any error message when you launch?

@heno: please don't use answers to post updates. If you want to add more information (because @DavidN asked for that fi), edit your original question. Use the edit link/button for that. I've already merged your two posts, but please keep it in mind next time.

same problem here, any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure this is a limitation coming from the way in which the current implementation works with its sockets. I suggest you report this at ros-drivers/omron/issues.

It seems the output of your launch is not equivalent to the launch file you posted on top. Host ip, ns, start and end angles are different from what specified in launch file.

I am getting the same problem. Please an answer ?

As I've answered on the github issue, the current Omron driver really doesn't support that. The way Ethernet/IP and specifically the Omron works is that scan data is sent back via UDP to a static port on the local host. It may be possible to change that port number, but TBH I don't know how to tell the Omron which port to call back on or if that's actually possible. It's probably better to try to make the one node support two Omron's. This can be done by reusing the receiving IO port with two instances of the OS32C class.

Another option would be to use TCP to receive scan data. This might be slower, but would mean that you could use two different nodes.

thx for your answer. I tried to used one node support two Omron's but it still binding.

In the above output the host ip seems to be the same for both laser-scanners. Are you sure you are start the correct launch file ?

If I use two sick laser scanners the launch file would look like this:

    <launch>
    <node pkg="sick_tim5xx" type="sick_tim5xx_node" name="laser_node_right">
    <param name="frame_id" value="laser_link_right" />
    <param name="host" value="192.168.30.10"/>
    <param name="topic_id" value="/fmSensors/scan_right" />
    <param name="min_usable_angle" value="-2.35619449" />
    <param name="max_usable_angle" value="2.35619449" />
    </node>

    <node pkg="sick_tim5xx" type="sick_tim5xx_node" name="laser_node_left">
    <param name="frame_id" value="laser_link_left" />
    <param name="host" value="192.168.30.11"/>
    <param name="topic_id" value="/fmSensors/scan_left" />
    <param name="min_usable_angle" value="-2.35619449" />
    <param name="max_usable_angle" value="2.35619449" />
    </node>
    </launch>

@mpc_agro the host IP above is different...

mgruhler gravatar image mgruhler  ( 2016-03-31 02:52:07 -0600 )edit

can you please send me the link where you downloaded the sick_tim5xx package? thanks in advance

First look at your IP again and try to read this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private...

I think it is unlikely that the IP is 192.162.xxx.xxx.

For a sick node that can be used with their scanner look her: https://github.com/FroboLab/frobomind...
