Typedef Documentation

typedef struct velodyne_rawdata::raw_block velodyne_rawdata::raw_block_t

Raw Velodyne data block.

Each block contains data from either the upper or lower laser bank. The device returns three times as many upper bank blocks.

use stdint.h types, so things work with both 64 and 32-bit machines

typedef struct velodyne_rawdata::raw_packet velodyne_rawdata::raw_packet_t

Raw Velodyne packet.

revolution is described in the device manual as incrementing (mod 65536) for each physical turn of the device. Our device seems to alternate between two different values every third packet. One value increases, the other decreases.

Todo:

figure out if revolution is only present for one of the two types of status fields

status has either a temperature encoding or the microcode level
