RPLIDAR calibration

Hello,

Is there any way to calibrate rplidar. For example, if rplidar is not pointing exactly straight ahead, is there any way to set up an angle’s offset?

And is there any “ROSic” way to exclude (filter) some angles from a scan, and replace this angle measure with inf. measure.

Hi
Maybe this could help:

Hello Quarkpol,

As Michael suggested, laser_filters is the package for excluding values from the scan.

RpLidar itself does not provide calibration feature, but you can use additional tf frame published by static_transform_publisher to rotate scanner angle by desired offset.
