Revision history [back]

I wrote an email to Sick and I asked for the connections with ROS. They said s300 doesn't have ROS support from Sick. But if you want to use the raw data with ROS:

• You CAN only use the RS422 output with a proper converter (Isolated Converter - CircuitBoard Converter)
• You CAN'T use the configuration port with using the RS232 to USB cable. This is just for configuration.
• You CAN'T use the EFI interface to acquire raw data. This is only for Flexi Soft Controllers.

Sick has an official ROS package named sick_safetyscanners for microscan3 series safety laser scanners.

After I tried the s300 with the converter, I'll update the answer.

Thank you,

Ermanas.
