Revision history [back]

After trying a number of driver and packages for our SICK LMS511 the best one I found to work with my ROS Indigo was from https://github.com/pangfumin/lms511_laser

All I had to do was initialize a workspace, copy the folder laser_node into the src folder and then catkin_make. Hope this helps someone else.

Cheers, Vik
