Hello,

I would like to use the Lucid Helios2 ToF camera with ros and from what I understand the arena_camera_ros driver does not support this specific model (it supports passive cameras only).

I there a more generic ros driver I could use to get the point clouds of the camera in ROS? Alternatevely I could make a custom solution which uses the SDK of the camera i guess.

Thank you

I often find writing my own ROS driver for these types of devices easier. Generic drivers might be very bloated and hard to debug. On the other hand, by writing your own ROS driver, you can only implement the things you need.

Therefore, I recommend making your own ROS driver if you cannot find a suitable already-made working ROS driver.
