Install RPLidar A1 at +90° with respect to x #63

Closed erenaud3 closed 6 years ago

Hi !

Is it possible to install the RPLidar A1 differently than with the motor side toward x ? (don't know if I'm clear, sorry...).

I would like to rotate it at 90°, so basically, x and y axis would be inverted if we compare with the wiki example. I need to do that because I don't have enough room otherwise. I would use it with gmapping.

you should know more about tf. modify your tf_tree with right transform
