# 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:
1. Publish pointcloud2 format point cloud and automatically load rviz.
for example:
```
roslaunch livox_ros_driver livox_lidar_rviz.launch bd_list:="broadcast_code1&broadcast_code2&broadcast_code3"
```
or
```
roslaunch livox_ros_driver livox_hub_rviz.launch bd_list:="hub_broadcast_code"
```
2. Publish pointcloud2 format point cloud only.
for example:
```
roslaunch livox_ros_driver livox_lidar.launch bd_list:="broadcast_code1&broadcast_code2&broadcast_code3"
```
or
```
roslaunch livox_ros_driver livox_hub.launch bd_list:="hub_broadcast_code"
```
3. Publish livox custom format point cloud.
for example:
```
roslaunch livox_ros_driver livox_lidar_msg.launch bd_list:="broadcast_code1&broadcast_code2&broadcast_code3"
```
or
```
roslaunch livox_ros_driver livox_hub_msg.launch bd_list:="hub_broadcast_code"
```
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
```
