Hi,
I'm trying to use the sicktoolbox_wrapper stack with a SICK LMS200 laser
rangefinder (connected over serial; port /dev/ttyS0). I set the permissions
as described here (
http://www.ros.org/wiki/sicktoolbox_wrapper/Tutorials/UsingTheSicklms) -- it
shows: "crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2010-07-13 11:36 /dev/ttyS0".
However, I get an error when I run the following:

rishi@rishi-portable:~$ rosrun sicktoolbox_wrapper sicklms _port:=/dev/ttyS0
_baud:=38400

The error:

    *** Attempting to initialize the Sick LMS...

device path?
[ERROR] [1279035417.096682835]: woah! error!

It seems the issue is the baud rate, but I set it manually in my rosrun
command -- any ideas?
Thanks!
