What it does

  • Supports the old Sick S300 Professional CMS (protocol 1.40) and the new Sick S300 Expert (protocol 2.10).
  • Handles distance measurements; I/O data and reflector data are not fully covered.
  • Publishes laser scans, a standby status topic and diagnostics.
  • Includes a deprecated scan_filter node that truncates scans to an angular range; laser_filters is recommended instead.
