Why am I experiencing data dropouts with my RoboSense Accessories?
If you are seeing data dropouts with your RoboSense Accessories, this is often related to network or computer issues. Start by checking for excessive traffic or collisions on your network. Also, verify if any network devices, like wireless access points, are throttling broadcast data.
What to do if I can see data in Wireshark but not RSVIEW with RoboSense Accessories?
If you can see data in Wireshark but not in RSVIEW with your RoboSense Accessories, check that no firewall is active on the receiving computer. Also, verify that the receiving computer’s IP address matches the LiDAR destination IP address. Check the RSVIEW Data Port setting. Ensure that neither the RSVIEW installation path nor the LiDAR configuration files path contain Chinese characters. Finally, confirm that Wireshark is receiving the MSOP packets.
What to do if RoboSense Accessories unit spins but there is no data?
If your RoboSense Accessories unit spins but you're not getting any data, verify that the network wiring is functional and check the receiving computer's network settings. Ensure packet output using an application like Wireshark. Confirm that no security software is blocking Ethernet broadcasts and verify that the input voltage and current draw are within the proper ranges.
Why do RoboSense Accessories reboot at boot time?
If your RoboSense Accessories are rebooting at boot time, check the power connection and polarity. Also, verify that the power supply meets the requirement of at least 2A @ 12V.
How to fix GPS synchronization issues with RoboSense Accessories?
If the GPS on your RoboSense Accessories is not synchronizing, check that the baud rate is 9600 and the serial port is set to 8N1 (8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). Also, check that the signal level is 3.3V TTL. Verify the electrical continuity of PPS and serial wiring, and check for incorrect construction of the NMEA sentence. Ensure the GPS and Interface BOX are connected to the same GND and that the GPS receives valid data.
What to do if the rotor doesn't spin on my RoboSense Accessories?
If the rotor of your RoboSense Accessories doesn’t spin, first verify that the Interface BOX LEDs are okay. Then, check that the connection between the Interface BOX and LiDAR is solid.
How to get data via a router with RoboSense Accessories?
If you are not getting data via a router with your RoboSense Accessories, close the DHCP function in the router or set the Sensor IP in the router configuration.
What to do if the Interface BOX red LED doesn’t light or blink on RoboSense Accessories?
If the Interface BOX red LED on your RoboSense Accessories doesn’t light up or blink, verify the power connection and polarity. Also, check that the power supply satisfies the requirement of at least 2A @ 12V.
What to do if the Interface BOX red LED is on, but the green LED doesn't light or blink on RoboSense Accessories?
If the Interface BOX red LED is lit but the green LED doesn’t light or blink on your RoboSense Accessories, verify that the connection between the Interface BOX and LiDAR is solid.
How to fix sensor cloud point data distortion in RoboSense Accessories?
