This code won't be maintained, and likely will not work anymore. I'm leaving this on GitHub in case anyone still finds value in it.
This project was used to create a demonstrator of using YDLIDAR X2 with Google Cartographer as described in this blog post.
- Clone the repo as your src directory
git clone [email protected]:msadowski/x2_cartographer.git - Initialize and update submodules

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro melodic -r -yfrom your workspace - Source your workspace
source devel/setup.bash - Start everything:
roslaunch carto_mapper mapper.launch
