Re: [ros-users] Driver for new Hokuyo UTM-30LX-EW lasers?

Hi,
I am updating the IRI driver [1] for the Hokuyo Lasers in order to be
used with the SCIP2.2 protocol and get the multiecho values in the
UTM-30LX-EW and the UXM-30LX-E
At the moment I am working with the non-ROS version of the driver, as
soon as I get this running I will wrap it in our ROS node [2].

I'll tell you when It will be ready.

Kind regards,
Martí Morta
