Hey,

I am having the same problem with my SICK laser. I can get it to work perfectly when using a USB->RS232 adapter (but with many of the "A scan was probably missed") messages.

However, to operate faster, I am trying to connect using an RS422 interface. The ports are showing up under /dev/ttyUSB1, /dev/ttyUSB2 etc. But I cannot get the SICK to communicate through these ports.

Sven_007 - what do you mean by "set the interface of "/dev/ttyMXUSB0" to RS-422"??

I am setting _port:=500000 and have set the permissions on the port correctly. However, i end up with the same error messages as the original post.

Any ideas much appreciated!

Thanks,

S
