Hello Everyone, We've recently purchased a new LMS 511 but they have only provided a windows driver version whilst we need the Linux so I'm here to ask if there's a driver for that device on Linux or either way guide through building my won driver using Ethernet RS232 or even USB AS I have seen there's no driver for the 5xx and yet it's the most interesting and it's more powerful and give better results Thanks

Is there anything new on this topic? Is current driver for LMS2xx compatible with LMS5xx in anyway?

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_l...

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...
