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

[Aaron Martinez Romero]

Hi Blaise, thanks for respond.

I saw the documentation of sicktoolbox and my laser model, is not supported.

I think that is a lot of work to modify the sicktoolbox and
sicktoolbox_wrapper driver for the PLS200 Laser.

I saw that the driver sick_lms400 is based in a driver of Player, I will try
use this method with my laser with the driver of Player that I modified.

Best regards...
