Overview

Velodyne¹ is a collection of ROS² packages supporting Velodyne high definition 3D LIDARs³.

Warning:

The master branch normally contains code being tested for the next ROS release. It will not always work with every previous release. To check out the source for the most recent release, check out the tag velodyne-<version> with the highest version number.

The current master branch works with ROS Indigo and Kinetic. CI builds are currently run for Lunar and Melodic but extensive testing has not been completed in those environments.
