Bag file generation

kristianpaul

I’m getting started with os1 and want to generare a bag file as first goal. I’m already familiar with Ouster studio csv export but want to generate bag files and not sure if this can be accomplished with studio + python or i need to use ROS and if thats the case what are the ROS components i need to get familiar with because i haven't play with this tool in the past althought i’m familiar with linux.

Hi @kristianpaul
To generate bag files, as you already mentioned, you need to use ROS. Ouster provides ROS Node on Github here with step by step guide on how to save data from Ouster lidar.
Let us know, if you have any other questions, we would be very happy to help!

Mohit Thanks, I managed to get a bag file from that ROS Node code from Github, run it and connect it to my os-1 16 now i'm trying to generate a pcl file from both the /os1_node/imu_packets and /os1_node/lidar_packets topics, it this something i can get done using rviz or need to get hands on rospy and figure how to process it?
