Build on Linux ROS1

To build resp. install sick_scan_xd on Linux with ROS-1, you can build sick_scan_xd from sources or install prebuilt binaries.

Install prebuilt binaries

Run the following steps to install sick_scan_xd on Linux with ROS 1 noetic:

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-sick-scan-xd

After successful installation, you can run sick_scan_xd using roslaunch sick_scan_xd <launchfile>, e.g. roslaunch sick_scan_xd sick_picoscan.launch for picoscan. sick_scan_xd can be removed by sudo apt-get remove ros-noetic-sick-scan-xd.

Build from sources

Run the following steps to build sick_scan_xd on Linux with ROS 1:

  1. Create a workspace folder, e.g. sick_scan_ws (or any other name):

    mkdir -p ./sick_scan_ws
cd ./sick_scan_ws

  2. Clone repositories https://github.com/SICKAG/libsick_ldmrs and https://github.com/SICKAG/sick_scan_xd:

    mkdir ./src
pushd ./src
git clone https://github.com/SICKAG/libsick_ldmrs.git
git clone -b master https://github.com/SICKAG/sick_scan_xd.git
popd
rm -rf ./build ./build_isolated/ ./devel ./devel_isolated/ ./install ./install_isolated/ ./log/ # remove any files from a previous build

  3. Build sick_generic_caller:

    source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash # replace noetic by your ros distro
catkin_make_isolated --install --cmake-args -DROS_VERSION=1 -Wno-dev
source ./devel_isolated/setup.bash
# source ./install_isolated/setup.bash

    For ROS versions other than noetic, please replace source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash with your ros distribution.

Note: LDMRS sensors are currently not supported on Raspberry. Build with cmake flag -DLDMRS=0 -DRASPBERRY=1 on Raspberry:

catkin_make_isolated --install --cmake-args -DROS_VERSION=1 -DLDMRS=0 -DRASPBERRY=1 -Wno-dev

Note: libsick_ldmrs is only required to support LDMRS sensors. If you do not need or want to support LDMRS, you can skip building libsick_ldmrs. To build sick_generic_caller without LDMRS support, switch off option BUILD_WITH_LDMRS_SUPPORT in CMakeLists.txt or call catkin_make_isolated with option -DLDMRS=0:

catkin_make_isolated --install --cmake-args -DROS_VERSION=1 -DLDMRS=0 -Wno-dev

Note: To build sick_generic_caller without multiScan136/sick_scansegment_xd/picoScan150 support, switch off option BUILD_WITH_SCANSEGMENT_XD_SUPPORT in CMakeLists.txt or call cmake with option -DSCANSEGMENT_XD=0:

catkin_make_isolated --install --cmake-args -DROS_VERSION=1 -DSCANSEGMENT_XD=0 -Wno-dev

cmake flags can be combined. Use flags -DLDMRS=0 -DSCANSEGMENT_XD=0 to build without LDMRS and without multiScan100/picoScan100 support:

catkin_make_isolated --install --cmake-args -DROS_VERSION=1 -DLDMRS=0 -DSCANSEGMENT_XD=0 -Wno-dev

Summary for the different build options:

  • Without LDMRS-support and without multiScan100/picoScan100 support
   catkin_make_isolated --install --cmake-args -DROS_VERSION=1 -DLDMRS=0 -DSCANSEGMENT_XD=0 -Wno-dev
  • Without LDMRS-support and with multiScan100/picoScan100 support
   catkin_make_isolated --install --cmake-args -DROS_VERSION=1 -DLDMRS=0 -Wno-dev
  • with LDMRS-support and without multiScan100/picoScan100 support
   catkin_make_isolated --install --cmake-args -DROS_VERSION=1 -DSCANSEGMENT_XD=0 -Wno-dev
  • with LDMRS-support and with multiScan100/picoScan100 support
   catkin_make_isolated --install --cmake-args -DROS_VERSION=1 -Wno-dev
