I'm using ROS 2 Foxy and I want to convert PointCloud2 msg to LaserScan msg, I think the best way is to use the pointcloud_to_laserscan package (link: pointcloud_to_laserscan) but I was not able to make it work.

The command I was using is this:

ros2 run pointcloud_to_laserscan pointcloud_to_laserscan_node --ros-args --remap cloud_in:=/pointcloud2_topic

In the launch file you definitely will see a yaml file linked to the launch file...you have to remap the topic of the point cloud to the laser can topic .
