Thanks for the video. I bought the RPlidar A1 recently and was able to make a map of my room successfully.
Many thanks. I´m a civil engineer and was able to do the same with RPLidar A3, the results are much better with this model. Now to export to CAD file :P
Hi, nice tutorial. It realy helped me to get start with the RPLidar. A thing I noted when you explained the changes in the "tutorial_tif.launch". You had show a change in the line 8, but there is a change in line 13 too. You had to change the old name "mapping_default.launch" to the filename you created "mapping_tif.launch". It was in the minute 8:05, it already has the new filename. I did it here and worked very well. Thanks for the excelent video
This is incredible. The fact that you can get this software for free is even more awesome.
Great tutorial, I almost slept reading through the ROS wiki. Videos are so easy to understand. Looking foward to a tutorial for autonomous navigation with slam on rasperry pi.
Hi! It's important to say that if you rotate the Lidar fastly in one axis -- you can have problems for mapping, occasionally it's happens when you have a diff drive robot. Great video!
Thank you for such a valuable video!! We will keep learning, please dont stop posting.
Thanks a lot i was looking for this. Excellent explanations. Looking forward to navigation go to goal and how to integrate same with ROS arduino motor control to move robot. God bless you. Regards
You are a blessing! Beautifully explained and to the point.
First of all thank you for these amazing videos which helped me a lot! I have a similar project right now: I want to install the RPLIDAR A1 on a little car and connect it with a raspberry pi 3. I want to start the scan from my laptop and visualize the map with Rviz. So i use this order of steps: - start roscore on my laptop - tell pi that the laptop is the master (export ROS_MASTER_URI=) - define my pi as a talker and laptop as listener (rosrun rospy_tutorials talker.py) - start Rplidar - than i type "rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0 0 0 0 0 0 map scanmatcher_frame 10" I did this because I was getting the warning "No transform between frames /map and scanmatcher_frame available after 20.002338 seconds of waiting. This warning only prints once." - start hector slam. When i start hector slam, Rviz opens but the map is empty and the terminal gives me the following info: "lookupTransform base_frame to laser timed out. Could not transform laser scan into base_frame.". Do you know what i'm doing wrong because when i connect the Lidar directly to my laptop everything works fine as in your video. I sourced after every new shell and i also used everytime the "export ROS_MASTER_URI"-command. Greetings
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks
Thanks a ton. This way really worked.
Love your shirts, your video, and definitely your project!!!
Kindly make part 2 of it. SLAM
Awesome as always! Thank you!
Very useful tutorial, thank you. Could you please make a tutorial on how to integrate Hector slam with amcl location. Many thanks.
This video is all my needs :3 thank you
thx for this great tutorial!
great video thanks. keep it coming !
