Hey all,
I am trying to connect an ibeo LUX Lidar to the Drive PX2. Can somebody please help me out with the necessary steps? I tried setting the IP and port in the recorder-config.json file to record the data with the recorder-qt application. However this only results in an “Driveworks exception thrown: DW_SAL_CANNOT_INITIALIZE: LidarSocket: Socket error”. I am assuming this has to do with the static IP being used by the LUX Lidar but I am a bit lost on how to fix things. On a different Ubuntu machine I can simply change my network setting to a static IP, but I could not find a way to do this on the PX2 … Or am I going down a completely wrong path?
Hello, Steve, I really think the reference is not very clear.
it may take several hours to figure out how to confgiure the parameters of your samples.
Like this one, lidar_replay_sample, do you think the following is right:
The command line for the sample to display live Lidar point clouds is:
./sample_lidar_replay --ip=[lidar IP address] --port=[lidar port] --device=[type of device] --scan-frequency=[valid frequency]
The Lidar must be up and running, and connected to the network.
Currently supported devices are Quanergy M8 [QUAN_M81A], IBEO Lux [IBEO_LUX], Velodyne VPL16 [VELO_VPL16], Velodyne HDL32 [VELO_HDL32E] and Velodyne HDL64E [VELO_HDL64E]
Scan frequency is usually preset using the Lidar vendor tools. The exception is the IBEO Lux Lidar, where the value provided is used to set the sensor frequency (valid values are 12.5, 25, and 50 Hz)
The command line for the sample to display live Lidar point clouds is:
./sample_lidar_replay --file=[lidar file]
The Lidar file can be obtained with the provided recording tools.
If no arguments are passed, a default Lidar file is loaded.
Do the two cases both show the live, live, lidar point clouds?
Besides, maybe the person want to know how to configure the ethernet-interface of the DrivePX2 (not the ethernet of TegraA and TegraB).
Actually, if you can tell others that you need not to configure the ethernet-port(in the harness cable), and the users only need to configure the lidar’s ip using the tool provided by the lidar, like IBEO’s ILV_Basic。
For example, if the IP of PX2 is: 10.42.0.28;
just set the IP of your lidar: 10.42.0.xx, other than 28.
After setting the IP of lidar, maybe you need to re-power the lidar, then connect to the PX2,
