LIDAR Interface

Check out https://github.com/Nova-UTD/LidarInterface/ for an explanation of the current lidar systems! An explanation of the software system lives over there. This page will be devoted to some of the more Voltron-specific stuff.

Current Configuration status:

Some information that might be helpful later:

• Front lidar. IP address: 192.168.1.202. Destination address: 192.168.1.100 (ip of the jetson). Data port: 2369. Telemetry port: 8309. Tends to live on eth2.
• Rear lidar. IP address: 192.168.1.201. Destination address: 192.168.1.100 (ip of the jetson). Data port: 2368. Telemetry port: 8308. Tends to live on eth0.

Checking the configuration page or using wireshark will be more accurate than relying on this page.

Configuration tips and tricks

For some reason, even though they are on different ip addresses only one of the web dashboards works at a time. Whichever lidar was powered on first can be connected to, while the other doesn't respond. Even if this is happening they both should still be outputting data- wireshark is installed on the jetson and you can use it to check if both are writing packets.

When editing network configuration or possibly other configurations, by each specific field or set of fields there is a "set" button. Pressing this changes the configuration for this run time but doesn't persist through a power cycle, making it handy if you want to test something out without loosing the current configuration. To persist through a power cycle, you must first hit "set", then toward the bottom of the section hit the "save configuration" button.
