Installation guide

[wsaihopfsg]

• "NOTE: For VsxSdk-version 3.0.6..." how does the user check the version?
• Is it possible to streamline the process of manual installation of VsxSdk & .NET SDK with rosdep?
• Should you not compile the source code first and then source devel/setup.bash? Steps 6 & 7 should be swapped
• Some people may have catkin instead of catkin_make
• It is possible to pass the IP address as a parameter without any need to edit the .launch files
  roslaunch pepperl_fuchs_sr3d.launch scanner_ip:=192.168.0.100
• There should be code examples on integrating the resulting point cloud with PCL, since PCL is natively supported in ROS
• Use of sensor_msgs/PointCloud should be minimized since only sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 is supported in PCL

Hello,

thank you for your feedback. This is the first version of the ROS driver and we're not feature complete. Your feedback is very valuable.

• The user sees the SDK version in the download
• Right now it is not possible to streamline the installation.
• Swapping: Steps 6 & 7: I cannot answer this question. We'll look into it. The step by step guide works quite well. Maybe it makes more sense to swap steps 6&7.
• catkin vs. catkin_make: Again... I cannot answer this question. Will this be a question for an intermediate ROS user?
• IP as parameter: We'll check
• PointCloud2: I agree with you.
