Hi there! a new user of ROS and having Velodyne 32

I am wondering if is there any tutorial explaining how to send the output of the Velodyne node via UDP

what I am doing is that I have been able to build autoware with jetson Xavier and using lidar only to detect and track objects the only thing I need to figure out is how to send the XYZ via UDP, please?

This is beyond the scope of this driver. You would need to convert the contents of the PointCloud2 message into UDP packets. I recommend creating your own ROS node to do this.
