OS-1 Example Client

Contents

• ouster_client/ contains a simple C++ client for the OS-1 sensor
• can be built both with and without ROS. See the instructions in ouster_ros for building in a ROS environment

Building the Sample Client

• The sample client requires a compiler supporting C++11 or newer and CMake
• Build with cd /path/to/ouster_example/ouster_client && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

Running the Sample Client

• The sample client includes a small driver program that just prints some data to the terminal
• Make sure the OS-1 is connected to the network and has obtained a DHCP lease. See accompanying documentation for more details
• You should see a binary called ouster_client_example in your build directory on success
• Run ouster_client_example <os1_hostname> <udp_data_dest_ip> where <os1_hostname> is the hostname or IP address of the OS-1 sensor, and <udp_data_dest_ip> is the IP to which the sensor should send lidar data
