class mrpt::hwdrivers::CHokuyoURG¶

This software driver implements the protocol SCIP-2.0 for interfacing HOKUYO URG/UTM/UXM/UST laser scanners (USB or Ethernet).

Refer to the example code HOKUYO_laser_test and to example rawlog-grabber config files

See also the application “rawlog-grabber” for a ready-to-use application to gather data from the scanner.

-------------------------------------------------------
  [supplied_section_name]
   HOKUYO_motorSpeed_rpm=600
   #HOKUYO_HS_mode   = false    // Optional (un-comment line if used):
Set/unset the High-sensitivity mode (not on all models/firmwares!)

   # Uncomment serial port or IP address, depending on the Hokuyo model
(serial/USB vs. Ethernet):
   COM_port_WIN = COM3       // Serial port name in Windows
   COM_port_LIN = ttyS0      // Serial port name in GNU/Linux
   #IP_DIR  =   192.168.0.10 // Uncommented this and "PORT_DIR" if the
used HOKUYO is connected by Ethernet instead of USB
   #PORT_DIR = 10940         // Default value: 10940

   pose_x=0.21  // Laser range scaner 3D position in the robot (meters)
   pose_y=0
   pose_z=0.34
   pose_yaw=0   // Angles in degrees
   pose_pitch=0
   pose_roll=0

   #disable_firmware_timestamp = true   // Uncomment to use PC time instead
of laser time

   # Optional: reduced FOV:
   # reduced_fov  = 25 // Deg

   # Sets decimation of scans directly at the Hokuyo scanner.
   # 0=means send all scans, 1=means send 50% of scans, etc.
   # scan_interval = 0

   #preview = true // Enable GUI visualization of captured data

   # Optional: Exclusion zones to avoid the robot seeing itself:
   #exclusionZone1_x = 0.20 0.30 0.30 0.20
   #exclusionZone1_y = 0.20 0.30 0.30 0.20

   # Optional: Exclusion zones to avoid the robot seeing itself:

Methods¶

virtual void doProcessSimple(
    bool& outThereIsObservation,
    mrpt::obs::CObservation2DRangeScan& outObservation,
    bool& hardwareError
    )

Specific laser scanner “software drivers” must process here new data from the I/O stream, and, if a whole scan has arrived, return it.

This method will be typically called in a different thread than other methods, and will be called in a timely fashion.

virtual bool turnOn()

Enables the scanning mode (which may depend on the specific laser device); this must be called before asking for observations to assure that the protocol has been initializated.

Returns:

If everything works “true”, or “false” if there is any error.

virtual bool turnOff()

Disables the scanning mode (this can be used to turn the device in low energy mode, if available)

Returns:

If everything works “true”, or “false” if there is any error.

void purgeBuffers()

Empties the RX buffers of the serial port.

void setSerialPort(const std::string& port_name)

If set to non-empty, the serial port will be attempted to be opened automatically when this class is first used to request data from the laser.

void setIPandPort(const std::string& ip, const unsigned int& port)

Set the ip direction and port to connect using Ethernet communication.

const std::string getSerialPort()

Returns the currently set serial port.
