Integration with ROS

[Benjaminmar8]

Nice work! I am interested to test out your code. How can I use it with ROS?

Hi! So far, there is no wrapper for ROS prepared. Fortunately, after the latest update of repository, the shared library is created upon build. You can write your own ROS node (for inspiration take a look at collar-lines-odom.cpp) and link this library to your project.
Hope it helps. Cheers, Martin.

Thanks ompugao! Did you also modify the but_velodyne_lib? If so could you also share your modified but_velodyne_lib package? Thanks

Hi guys. All PR have been merged. Thanks for the contribution @ompugao!

Regarding the ROS wrapper - good job! We have all Velodyne related nodes centralized here: https://github.com/robofit/but_velodyne. Would it be, please, possible @ompugao to merge your repo into this one and send PR? Thanks!
