[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Next Generation ROS] ROS 2 wrapper for velodyne drivers

[Dejan Pangercic]

@batman we have written a VLP16 driver for ROS2 which is easily extendable to other ring-shaped lidars. 

The driver is loosely based on https://github.com/ros-drivers/velodyne but also greatly improved in terms of:

1. Static memory

1. To work on data as soon as its available

1. To have minimal latency by using e.g. ring buffers



Currently we are not ready to release it yet but plan to do it later this year. 



If you need it earlier send me a PM.
