Ibeo ScaLa and ScaLa Fusion

driver_name: ibeo_scala | ibeo_msgs

A ROS driver to interact with the Ibeo ScaLa sensor and the Ibeo ScaLa Fusion ECU. This driver does not work with the Ibeo LUX or the Ibeo ScaLa 3.0. Please see the list of supported hardware below for more information. This driver was developed using the Ethernet interface documentation version 1.38. An updated driver using Ethernet interface documentation 1.47 is coming soon.

Supported Hardware

  • Ibeo ScaLa B2
  • Ibeo ScaLa 2.0
  • Ibeo ScaLa 2.0 Fusion ECU

Subscribed Topics: None
