[Gearbox-users] hokuyo (URG-04LX and UTM-30LX), sensibility bug & intensities

[Luiz G. B. M. <lui...@gm...>]

Hello,

I asked these questions in the Orca list, but as they are not
orca-specific they should fit better here:
1)  I was told that to get intensities with a URG-04LX (Classic URG) a
special firmware is needed. With google I find people using this, but
I can not find the firmware. Is it available? Is there some drawback?

2) I can not set HighSensibility either to false or true, using the
UTM-30LX (Top-URG) with the GB driver under orca . I do not know if it
is a bug or if the device do not have this capability. I get the
following message when SetHighSensitivity is called:

[ 10/22/09 12:45:45.405 palma/laser2d:  info: HwThread: Creating driver... ]
[ MainThread: 10/22/09 12:45:45.571 palma/laser2d:  error: Subsystem
- MainThread status=Initialising/Fault: (while initialising hardware driver)
- caught unexpected exception:
   *** ERROR(driver.cpp:131): failed during initialisation of hokuyo_aist.
   *** Errorcode: 3, Errordescription: Bad response to HS command: 0E
   *** Undefined command 2 ]

Obviously, not setting the HS is a simple workaround... it is just to
report and see if anybody knows, then the relevant drivers can be
fixed.
