[ros-users] Driver for the Laser sick PLS200-214??

[Aaron Martinez Romero]

Yeah, I finished my adaption of the driver LMS200 of PlayerStage, to use
with the Laser PLS200-212.

First I modify the driver sicklms200 for use with the laser pls200 in
Player, and later I create a "driver/node" for ROS, and Works!!!!!

I attached a image using the laser in Player with playerv, and ROS with
Rviz.....
