How to use IR range finder with navigation stack? [closed]
How do you use an IR range finder with the navigation stack? I got my eddiebot-like robot all set up, and added the range finders to costmap_common_params.yaml, but it just tells me:
[FATAL] [1361591285.796743183]: Only topics that use point clouds or laser scans are currently supported
So I'm thinking it wouldn't be too translate my range finders into laser scan messages, but that seems like a kludge. It seems like this must have been done before (for example on Eddiebot. What have others done?
