Usage

1.The node "scan" must be run first:

   1 rosurn sick_laser scan

2.If you want to get the 3D point cloud,the following command must be run:

rosrun sick_laser point_cloud [port_number] [direction] [frequency] [how many degrees to move] [the first degree] [if data save as pcd file].

[port_number] : port number;

[direction] : '0' or '1';

[frequency] : The frequency which motor rotate at;

[the first degree] : To ensure the coordinate system is prefect,so you should give a first degree.

[if data save as pcd file] : 'y' -> yes or 'n'-> no.

For example:

   1 rosrun sick_laser point_cloud 2 1 3600 360 0 y

And this node will output the point cloud as "laserdata.pcd".

3.If you want to get the 3D point cloud and the image.Please run the following command:

rosrun sick_laser cloud_and_image [port_number] [direction] [frequency] [how many degrees to move] [the first degree] [if data save as pcd file]

[port_number] : port number;

[direction] : '0' or '1';

[frequency] : The frequency which motor rotate at;

[the first degree] : To ensure the coordinate system is prefect,so you should give a first degree.

[if data save as pcd file] : 'y' -> yes or 'n'-> no.

For example:

   1 rosrun sick_laser cloud_and_image 2 1 3600 360 0 y

And this command will output a point cloud as laserdata.pcd and eight pictures from image1.bmp to image8.bmp.
