I cloned these drivers for use https://github.com/clearpathrobotics/laser_drivers/tree/hydro-devel for use. But when I do roslaunch lms5xx.launch i get this error
A Timeout Occurred - SickLMS5xx::_setupConnection: select() timeout!
[lidar/lms5xx-2] process has died [pid 5099, exit code 2, cmd /home/axe/catkin_ws/devel/lib Please help!!
This is a fairly common error. You have likely not sourced the setup.bash from your workspace. This will add the path of your newly cloned package to the ROS path. In general, it does what in catkin terms is called 'overlaying your workspace' to your environment variables.
Go to your workspace directory and run the following command source devel/setup.bash (assuming you are using a catkin workspace).
After trying a number of driver and packages for our SICK LMS511 the best one I found to work with my ROS Indigo was from https://github.com/pangfumin/lms511_l...
All I had to do was initialize a workspace, copy the folder laser_node into the src folder and then catkin_make. Hope this helps someone else.
Cheers, Vik
Hi Vik, I used the same driver and got an error as someone else described here: https://github.com/pangfumin/lms511_l...
What other setup is needed?
Jeff, I think your issue has to do with networking. Sounds like your computer is not able to talk to the Lidar via Ethernet. I believe when your network configuration is correct, you should be able to ping the lidar at its ip address. Make sure the driver matches that.

You should have updated the question by adding the new errors you are experiencing and not deleting what was there earlier.
Anyway, the error means that the file descriptor is not ready. Check to see if the device is connected to the right socket and you have the right permissions.
