Hi,

  2. ROS driver for SICK safety laser scanners This driver targets the ROS1 Releases Kinetic, Melodic and Noetic

Raymond-601-cmd commented 3 years ago

Dear, Foxy Fitzroy, Kinetic, Melodic and Noetic These means?

lenpuc commented 3 years ago

These drivers are based around the open source communication framework ROS (https://www.ros.org/). And there they target different releases. If you are instead looking at a standalone Driver for the safetyscanners have a look at the CPP driver: https://github.com/SICKAG/sick_safetyscanners_base
