Thank you for this source and sorry if this question has already been answered but I could not manage to do this.
I am using an Slamtec RPlidar and here is a screenshot from RViz:
The problem is, I couldn't figure how to publish the rplidar scan data onto the filtered_cloud rostopic
Alter the topic, in the above mentioned "issue" and change it to "scan" as I see in your image.
This should grab the point cloud data from your device, if it is indeed outputting on the "scan" topic.
@aldras : Thank you for your comments!
@tilexiadam : If you are still facing this issue, please try this solution. You can rename your existing pointcloud topic (scan from your screenshot) to filtered_cloud using one of the following:
- In roslaunch file:
<remap from="scan" to="filtered_cloud"/> - On the command-line:
rosrun sensor_pkg_name sensor_node_name scan:=filtered_cloud
Closing this since the question has been answered. Feel free to post if you still need help.
