YDLidar fails health check #4

I'm getting the following error while running on an X2. 

ros2 run ydlidar_ros2_driver ydlidar_ros2_driver_node

The lidar runs successfully at the SDK level using ./ydlidar_test so the connection to the port is OK. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

So the solution for the X4 (sorry I said X2 previously) was to set the baud rate to 128000 and set the support_motor_dir parameter equal to true in the params/ydlidar.yaml file. The lesson here is that you must know the parameter settings for you YDLidar model because it fails with very few diagnostics.
