Hi Dereck,

UTM-30LX-EW are supported through the new 'urg_node'. It's going to be a beta release officially in Hydro. However, the driver is currently available in Groovy as:

ros-groovy-urg-node

Source for it and the multiecho compatibility library, 'laser_proc' are available at the following:

https://github.com/ros-drivers/urg_node

https://github.com/ros-perception/laser_proc

https://github.com/ros-drivers/urg_c

I'm not sure when/if RVIZ will be patched to have a MultiEchoLaserScan display - a pull request would be great.

Is anyone out there working on support for the new Hokuyo UTM-30LX-EW laser scanner?

If not, I plan on patching hokuyo_node to support multi-echo and ethernet sensors.

I don't have much graphics experience but I might try adding multi-echo support to rviz while I'm at it. :)

Suggestions and feedback appreciated. :)

Regards,
