# Livox ROS Driver
### Run livox ros driver
livox_ros_driver is a new ros package, which is designed to gradually become the standard driver package for livox devices in the ros environment. The driver offers users a wealth of options when using different launch file. There is *bd_list* arg in each launch file. All Livox LiDAR units in your LAN will be connected automatically in default.
e.g.
```
roslaunch livox_ros_driver livox_lidar_rviz.launch
```
If you want to connect to the specific LiDAR uint(s) only, please add the broadcast code into command line.
e.g.
```
roslaunch livox_ros_driver livox_lidar_rviz.launch bd_list:="broadcast_code1&broadcast_code2&broadcast_code3"
```
Features of *.launch* files are listed as below:
| launch file | features |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| *livox_lidar_rviz.launch* | Connect to Livox LiDAR units<br/>Publish pointcloud2 format point cloud<br/>Automatically load rviz |
| livox_hub_rviz.launch | Connect to Livox Hub units<br/>Publish pointcloud2 format point cloud<br />Automatically load rviz |
| livox_lidar.launch | Connect to Livox LiDAR units<br />Publish pointcloud2 format point cloud |
| livox_hub.launch | Connect to Livox Hub units<br />Publish pointcloud2 format point cloud |
| livox_lidar_msg.launch | Connect to Livox LiDAR units<br />Publish livox custom format point cloud |
| livox_hub_msg.launch | Connect to Livox Hub units<br />Publish livox custom format point cloud |
Livox custom msg format
```
Header header # ROS standard message header
uint64 timebase # The time of first point
uint32 point_num # Total number of pointclouds
uint8 lidar_id # Lidar device id number
uint8[3] rsvd # Reserved use
CustomPoint[] points # Pointcloud data
```
pointcloud format:
```
uint32 offset_time # offset time relative to the base time
float32 x # X axis, unit:m
float32 y # Y axis, unit:m
float32 z # Z axis, unit:m
uint8 reflectivity # reflectivity, 0~255
uint8 line # laser number in lidar
