i want to know how to get a distance and angle from Laser Sensor

[issong93]

Hi, i'm a university student to research in the laboratory from Korea. I bought 360 Laser Distance Sensor LDS-01 from ROBOTIS company. I had question about the laser sensor, and i asked to the company. But they want to tell i ask to you.

So, my question is that 10x10 Matrix is shown from matlab/simulink through the Sensor. But i want to know a distance and angle from the Sensor. I don't know understand the 10x10 Matrix's mean. Please can you teach me about solution as soon as possibe. Thank you.

I just received the data of lidar using Serial port of Matlab/Simulink.

Before getting data from lidar, you need to communicate with it.

lidar comm example

Above code is example to show how to begin lidar sensor.

Thanks Darby

Where do i get the header files?

include <ros/ros.h>

35 #include <sensor_msgs/LaserScan.h> 36 #include <boost/asio.hpp> 37 #include <hls_lfcd_lds_driver/lfcd_laser.h> 38 #include <std_msgs/UInt16.h>
