Software (BB + Livox)

The Penelope software configuration builds directly on the Barebone Software setup.
In this variant, the focus is on integrating and visualizing data from the Livox Mid-360 LiDAR.

Livox ROS Driver 2

For ROS 2 integration, the Livox ROS Driver 2 is used.
This driver allows the Penelope platform to publish point cloud data directly into ROS 2 topics, which can be visualized and processed in RViz2.

Installation & Launch

Clone, build, and launch the driver in your ROS 2 workspace:

cd ~/ros2_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/Livox-SDK/livox_ros_driver2.git
cd ~/ros2_ws
colcon build --packages-select livox_ros_driver2
source install/setup.bash

# Launch the LiDAR driver with RViz2
ros2 launch livox_ros_driver2 rviz_MID360_launch.py
