am using a sick laser to get some data, i then remove some of the data but do it as a std::vector. but i'm unable to publish those points to ros. is there a vector to sensor_msgs conversion that needs to be done?
thanks for any help...
You can directly assign a std::vector<float> to the float32[] ranges field of the LaserScan message:
sensor_msgs::LaserScan filtered_scan_msg;
std::vector<float> filtered_ranges;
// fill out vector here...
filtered_scan_msg.ranges = filtered_ranges;
Keep in mind that there are a lot of other fileds of the LaserScan message that need to be correclty set - angle_min, angle_max, angle_increment, etc.
For a working C++ example, you can look at laser_scan_splitter.cpp in laser_scan_splitter.

Could you post a simple chunk of code showing what you are attempting to do? (e.g. your subscribe, modify, publish portion).
