Re: [ros-users] Hokuyo UTM-30LX-EW

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.
