PTP Synctime Offset #13

Hi Hesai-Crew,

first of all: Thank you very much for this ROS driver. It helps a lot, but unfortunately we encounter problems when we want the time of our PTP master clock to be used in header->stamp and in the timestamps of each and every point in the custom PPointCloud message. But instead of the master clock time we experience an offset in the timestamp of about 20 years. Is there a bug in the ROS-driver? How do we fix this? Thank you :) Cheers

Markus

Hi Markus,

Which product are you using and what's the firmware version of the unit? We will look into this issue.

Thanks, Fred

Hi Markus,

I did some test at my side. Things you described doesn't look like a ROS bug, it seems more like a configuration issue, I'm not sure if the time from PTP master has successfully locked into your Lidar.

Please check the PTP status and clock source setting from Lidar's web page, make sure Lidar time is tracking or locked and clock source is correctly selected

Then please use wireshark to monitor the UDP packets, see the Date&Time fields to check if the time is correct.

Thanks， Fred
