Revision history [back]

I figured it out. After looking through the node's code I found that it saves the frame id of the first scan it gets, then for subsequent scans it ignores those that don't have the same frame id. So it doesn't use multiple sensors, but you can publish the data from multiple sensors to the /scan topic without having to worry about laser_scan_matcher throwing a fit.
