Link Laser Scanner to Matlab

Hi,

I just started work with mini laser scanner Hokuyo UTM-30LX-EW ( http://www.hokuyo-aut.jp/02sensor/07scanner/download/products/utm-30lx-ew/)and I want to control device with MATLAB. Do you have any recommendations or comments about that?

Thanks,

Ana

These files can be used to grab scans (range) from the UTM30-LX-EW: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/37613-hokuyo-utm-30-lx-ew-for-matlab. It works well.

Hi Ana, The given files works for UTM30-LX with Ethernet Port. are there any files to read and decode through USB Interface?. Thanks

It appears that it would be possible to control the device, but probably not in "real time". The device uses TCP/IP port 10940 (poorly documented!). The communications protocol would be a nuisance to write, but it is feasible... but probably not something you could knock off in an afternoon.

Note: when you look at the documentation, you will find references to SCIP, and the programming utilities shown are all based around using SCIP. However, SCIP applies to the URG- series of devices with serial (USB) interfaces, and does not appear to apply to the UTM- series which use Ethernet.

Hi, I have a scanner Brand Quelltech (https://www.quelltech.de/en/laser-scanner-products/q4-laser-scanner/). I want to retrieve the scanning by Matlab. + IP-address: 192.168.1.245, Port 1096. + Transmitted will be 2048 Bytes per Scan for 290 points + For a normal operation of the scanner it is not necessary to send initialization data to the scanner. Has anyone experienced with this scanner before? Any contribution is appreciated.

Thanks and Best regards, Lam
