A3 with foxy crashes ssh connection #60

Closed kadlu closed 1 year ago

kadlu commented 2 years ago

Hi all I use the A3 sensor with kinetic on a raspberry pi without issues. However i want to switch to ROS2. I installed a fresh ubuntu 20.04 with foxy on top and the rplidar library via apt-get ros-foxy-rplidar-ros. The installation has worked smoothly and I receive values from the lidar. But: For unknown reasons after running the launch file rplidar_a3.launch.py i'm not able anymore to ssh to my raspi. if i already opened a second connection that one works but unstable. Did someone made the same experiences? Any hint's to solve it? I checked several log's but see no errors or unexpected entries.

BTW there are two outdated variable names in that launch file. node_name should be name. node_executable should be executable.

I am grateful for any help.

Best Markus
