Sick TIM 561 - Ros Kinetic driver - with no obstacles outputs 0 on one machine and inf in another. Why? #57

Hello,

We are running a Sick TIM 561 with the ROS Kinetic driver.

On one PC running the driver, when there are no obstacles, outputs 0. On another, running the same code, it outputs inf. Any ideas why?

Everything is identical (code etc.) between the two setups other than the machine specs itself. One is a 3rd Gen I7 and the other is a 5th Gen I7.

Thanks!

I've changed the behavior in e964fb4c - please see the commit message for an explanation. This commit was released in version 0.0.11. My guess is that one of your machines is running an older version of the sick_tim driver. The issue that prompted this change was #54 .
