Sick TIM310 - LIBUSB - Read Error: -7

[JoaquimUdeM]

Hi, I am having issues getting my Sick Tim310-1030000 to publish data on /scan.

I initially I had a TIMEOUT error, I fixed that by increasing the time out by 500ms in sick_tim_common_usb.cpp.

LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT + 500

Now I have another error:

... logging to /home/ponn/.ros/log/b15e236c-c068-11e5-bd53-dc5360922b79/roslaunch-ponn-22050.log

SOPAS - Stopped streaming scan data.
LIBUSB - Released Interface.

I was wondering if anyone knows the solution to this error.

The error occured on both of my out of the box SICK Tim-lasers

Thanks,
Joaquim.

FYI, "Read error -7" is also LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT.

There are a couple of related (closed) issues, perhaps you find some useful info there: #7 #29

Unfortunately, I won't have time in the next week for this. @jspricke , could you take a look?

Hi Joaquim,

Do you have the scanner connected through a hub, or directly to the PC? Can you try it on a different computer? Can you the steps Martin proposed here: #7 (comment) and send me the bag file?

Closing due to lack of response.

This bug probably has the same cause as #33 and #35 : The firmware is probably >= 2.50, which doesn't support ranging.
