Re: [ros-users] Running RVIZ

Shahmi,

You probably won't need to write any nodes. To visualize your data, you will
need a node to communicate with the laser driver and publish the scans, and
then rviz to visualize them. If your laser is a Hokuyo or a SICK, there is
support for them in the laser_drivers stack:
