    What to do if RoboSense RS-Bpearl Accessories unit spins but there is no data?
    • M
      Marcus DavisAug 17, 2025
      If the RoboSense unit spins but no data is received, verify the following: * The network wiring is functional. * The receiving computer's network settings are correctly configured. * Packet output is present using an application like Wireshark. * No security software is blocking Ethernet broadcasts. * Input voltage and current draw are within proper ranges.

    Why am I experiencing data dropouts with my RoboSense Accessories?
    • C
      christopherpetersonAug 20, 2025
      Data dropouts are nearly always an issue with the network or user computer. Check for excessive traffic or collisions on the network. Also, determine if excessive broadcast packets from another service are being received by the sensor, which can slow it down. Ensure the computer is fast enough to keep up with the packet flow from the sensor. As a test, remove all network devices and directly connect a computer to the sensor.

    What to do if I can see data in Wireshark but not in RSVIEW for RoboSense RS-Bpearl?

      If you can see data in Wireshark but not in RSVIEW, check that no firewall is active on the receiving computer. Also, verify that the receiving computer’s IP address is the same as the LiDAR destination IP address. Ensure the RSVIEW Data Port setting is correct and that the RSVIEW installation path and LiDAR configuration files path do not contain any Chinese characters. Finally, confirm if Wireshark receives the MSOP packets.

    What to do if RoboSense RS-Bpearl Accessories reboots at boot time?
    • T
      Tyler KeyAug 26, 2025
      If the RoboSense Accessories reboots at boot time, verify the power connection and polarity. Also, ensure that the power supply satisfies the requirement (at least 3A @ 12V). Check if the LiDAR mounting plane is level or if the LiDAR bottom fixing screws are too tight.

    How to troubleshoot GPS synchronization issues with RoboSense RS-Bpearl?
    • B
      Brenda TurnerAug 27, 2025
      To troubleshoot GPS synchronization issues, verify the baud rate is 9600 and the serial port is set to 8N1 (8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). Check that the signal level is RS232 level, and ensure electrical continuity of PPS and serial wiring. Also, check for incorrect construction of the NMEA sentence, verify that the GPS and Interface BOX are connected to the same GND, and confirm that the GPS is receiving valid data.
