I'm trying to hookup the VLP-16 using ROS and on the Ubuntu 16.04. Following your steps outlined in the Wiki I' am having problems at step 3. http://wiki.ros.org/velodyne/Tutorial...

rosrun velodyne_pointcloud gen_calibration.py 32db.xml

I can not seem to find the xml file.

Could you provide some help?

I don't know where that tutorial came from. It's not listed in the Tutorials page.

It appears to have been adapted from the 32e tutorial, and not fully converted for the VLP-16. The line you mention refers to a 32e XML file. It should not be needed for the VLP-16.

To view the points run VLP16_points.launch instead of 32e_points.launch.
