Getting started with the OS1-128

eldorado

Hi,

Can someone offer any tips on how to get started with the OS1-128? The ouster_example code doesn't seem to support the 128 channels and neither does the latest version of Ouster Studio (3.6.0).

I found Steve Macenski's ROS2 code for the OS1-128, but I want to see if there are other approaches before jumping into a new ROS code base.

Thanks!

Hello eldorado,

Please go to https://go.ouster.io/beta-program/beta-12/ to get the latest version of Ouster Studio 3.6.0.-947 that support 128 channels. You can also find the link to the code, user guides and other tools to get started with your OS1-128.
Let me know if you need anyhting else.
Regards

Sylvia,

Thanks for the link. Ouster Studio worked on one computer but kept timing out/locking on the other.

Scanner setup: OS1-128 was connected to a gigabit router feeding two workstations (WS1 and WS2). DHCP was used to assign the IP addresses and I manually retrieved the OS1's address through the router's lease table. Scanner connection was verified using the alias, the IP address, and netcat with the IP address.

WS1: NUC 10i7FNH with the Intel i219V network controller. Ubuntu 18.04.
-- Network autodetect failed the first time. It found the scanner's alias but failed to configure it. Switching to "Fixed IP v4" (Sensor Configuration >> Network Options) fixed this, and then the "Default (via DHCP)" option started working.

WS2: HP Envy X360 with AMD 4500U and (I think) Intel AX200 network controller. Ubuntu 20.04.
-- Network autodetect froze for about 2 minutes before I terminated the program.

It's good to get connected, anyway. Thanks for your help.
