Ethernet Problem with URG-04LX [closed]
Hey everyone, I ran to this issue yesterday and been trying to fix it ever since with no luck.
My URG-04LX works fine with usb but since I want to use it over the wi-fi (right now, I'm testing it with a LAN cable), I've connected it to my laptop, with a RS232-to-Ethernet converter.
On windows, I can send and receive it's data with COM, on my 14.04 LTS ubuntu however I get this message when I use urg_node:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(some directory)@user:~$ rosrun urg_node urg_node _ip_address:="192.168.1.7"
Error connecting to Hokuyo: Could not open network Hokuyo:
192.168.1.7:10940
could not open ethernet port.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've already set my Laptop's Ethernet IP address to the RS232-to-Ethernet converter's destination IP and I'm communicating the urg_node with the 115200 baud-rate (which URG-04LX seems to work on it by default) through the 10940 port (again, it's default port). I've tried various solutions provided by other people on the Internet with no luck.
I sincerely appreciate any and every help.
Note: I found a forum that suggested to use a embedded system like raspberry pie or ODROID in order to read data and use a bridge connection to run the urg_node remotely from my laptop but using this way is not applicable in my case.
