Testing and Support for Dual-Return Mode #198
Comments
@JWhitleyAStuff I'd like to look into this, but it is unclear to me how this would be implemented such that it works correctly for all lidar models. Any pointers? |
This isn't by any means the only way but, if I was handling this, I would do the following:
Here are some documents that should help with understanding the modifications to the data structures in dual return mode: https://velodynelidar.com/docs/notes/63-9277%20Rev%20B%20HDL-32E%20Application%20Note%20-%20Packet%20Structure%20&%20Timing%20Definition.pdf (see the page "Data Block Structure in Dual Return Mode") https://velodynelidar.com/docs/manuals/63-HDL64ES3%20REV%20J%20MANUAL,USERS%20AND%20PROGRAM%20GUIDE,HDL-64E%20S3.pdf (see Dual Returns on page 15) https://velodynelidar.com/docs/manuals/63-9243%20REV%20D%20MANUAL,USERS,VLP-16.pdf (see page 57) I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions. Note: I just realized that the |
@JWhitleyAStuff Excellent pointers, I can definitely look into the VLP16 part as that's what I have on hand, we'll see later for the others. |

Is this resolved ? I just realized there is no option for dual-return in the parameter of the driver, OR will it be resolved if I just change the packet to the correct number if using dual return ? sorry to bump an old thread |
@w4rlock999 Unfortunately, no. There was a start on it but the developer was waiting on me to provide PCAP files from several sensors and I ended up leaving the job where I had access to them in order to test it. Would you be interested in working on the feature? |
Are the changes in #208 still relevant for supporting dual return, or has I have access to a VLP-16 at work, and we are thinking about experimenting with dual return. |
I'm going to take a guess that you might be able to reuse the stuff in |
Dual-return mode does not seem to be properly implemented (as mentioned by #109 and shown by the problems enabling it causes in #193). This is a reminder item to eventually add full, working support for dual-return mode to the driver.
