Support for ROS2 Humble

[rohitpandey1234]

We are interested in integrating ubiquity lidars in our robots, may you please clarify is it possible to get ROS2 support

Well we are slowly working towards ROS 2 support, but it is unlikely to be available all that soon yet. For now I'd suggest installing both ROS 1 and 2, setting up the ros1_bridge and then running the lidar nodes under ROS 1, with the rest of your system on the ROS 2 side. That'll also let you use a whole lot of packages that haven't been ported to ROS 2 yet.

I saw a ROS2 driver for a LDLIDAR, which might work for our 5 meter lidar which I think is an LD clone. Not sure if the Lesein Lidar has anything similar for ROS2, though some manufacturers like Ouster have nodes.

https://github.com/Myzhar/ldrobot-lidar-ros2 the cmd_interface_linux.cpp looks like cut and paste from our ur12_lidar code.

Also found this: https://github.com/LS-Technical-Supporter/LS-LIDAR-C32-ROS2 our ur50_lidar is sourced from this company. On Thu, Mar 9, 2023 at 8:10 AM Alan Federman ***@***.***> wrote:

Well that looks promising, we just need someone to verify that they work.

Well, get me a darn RPi 4 and the conveyor bot sitting in los Gatos and I can start testing.rhw big deal will be Ubiquity motor in ROS 2.
