Hi!
It's been quite a while since I made this repo but the rough description of my tuning workflow might help you:
--pause
argument in rosbag play to make sure all the software is up before bagfile starts runningBy the way: in my experience S1 is quite awful about coordinate systems. You might want to check these threads: https://github.com/Slamtec/rplidar_ros/issues/31, https://github.com/SteveMacenski/slam_toolbox/issues/198 - they might be quite relevant for you
Hi, first of all I would like to thank you for your blog, it has a lot of good and well written information. I found it searching for ardusimple GPS and ROS support, but then read almost all your post.
I'm working on some robots (ASV, UAV and a rover), with odroids and raspberrys, with pixhawks and custom made FCU, with ardusimple and rplidar S1. Right now I would like to ask for some help about cartographer. I was using it on kinetic a couple of yer ago with an hokuyo urg-04x and pixhawk IMU and it perform very well. Now I have a (better?) lidar, a rplidar s1 and I'm trying to get cartogrpher working with it. I found that I can't compile the code anymore on kinetic kane. So I install a VM with ubuntu 18 and install ros melodic. I can compile cartographer_ros now. But I'm facing some problems to get it work with my lidar. The first thing I have found to make it working a little is tunning num_accumulated_range_data. I have found that if it is 1 the slam process doesn't work at all. An using 2 or 3 I get better results. But I can't found anything about tuning it in the documentation. So, how do you get your num_accumulated_range_data = 7? and how do you perform your tunning parameters?
I will be asking other questions related to other interesting blog-post soon.
Thank!
