1 . YDLidar-SDK通信协议

雷达扫描输出的数据以十六进制格式输出到通信接口。
无强度字节偏移的数据包格式：（12字节）

有强度字节偏移的数据包格式：（13字节）
雷达扫描输出数据格式表：

内容	名称	描述
H(2B)	Packet header	2 Byte in length, Fixed at 0x55AA, low is front, high in back.
CT(1B)	Package type	Indicates the current packet type. (0x00 = CT & 0x01): Normal Point cloud packet. (0x01 = CT & 0x01): Zero packet.
LSN(1B)	Sample Data Number	ndicates the number of sampling points contained in the current packet. There is only once zero point of data in thre zero packet. the value is 1.
FSA(2B)	Starting angle	The angle data corresponding to the first sample point in the smapled data.
LSA(2B)	End angle	The angle data corresponding to the last sample point in the sampled data.
CS(2B)	Check code	The check code of the current data packet uses a two-byte exclusive OR to check the current data packet.
Si(2B/3B)	Sampling data	The system test sampling data is the distance data of the sampling point. Note: If the LiDAR has intensity, Si is 3 Byte. otherwise is 2 Byte. Si(3B)–>I(1B)(D(2B)): first Byte is Inentsity, The last two bytes are the Distance.

Zero resolution
Start data packet: (CT & 0x01) = 0x01, LSN = 1, Si = 1.
scan frequency: When it was a zero packet, The Lidar Scan frequency: SF = (CT >> 1) / 10.f; The Calculated frequency is the Lidar real-time frequency of the previous frame. If SF is non-zero, the protocol has real-time frequency.

Distance analysis:
Distance solution formula:

Triangle LiDAR: Distance(i) = Si / 4;

TOF LiDAR: Distance(i) = Si;

Intensity analysis:
Si(3B) split into three bytes : S(0) S(1) S(2)
Inensity solution formula:
Triangle LiDAR:
Intensity(i) = uint16_t((S(1) & 0x03)<< 8 | S(0));
Distance(i) = uint16_t(S(2) << 8 | S(1)) >> 2;
Angle analysis:(4字节)
First level analysis:
Starting angle solution formula: A n g l e F S A = R s h i f t b i t ( F S A , 1 ) 64 Angle_{FSA}=\frac{Rshiftbit(FSA, 1)}{64} AngleFSA=64Rshiftbit(FSA,1)
End angle solution formula: A n g l e L S A = R s h i f t b i t ( L S A , 1 ) 64 Angle_{LSA}=\frac{Rshiftbit(LSA, 1)}{64} AngleLSA=64Rshiftbit(LSA,1)
Intermediate angle solution formula:
A n g l e i = d i f f ( A n g l e ) L S N − 1 ∗ i + A n g l e F S A ( 0 , 1 , … , L S N − 1 ) Angle_{i}=\frac{diff(Angle)}{LSN - 1}*i + Angle_{FSA} (0,1,\ldots,LSN-1) Anglei=LSN−1diff(Angle)∗i+AngleFSA(0,1,…,LSN−1)
A n g l e 0 : A n g l e F S A Angle_{0} : Angle_{FSA} Angle0:AngleFSA;
A n g l e L S N − 1 : A n g l e L S A Angle_{LSN-1} : Angle_{LSA} AngleLSN−1:AngleLSA;
Rshiftbit(data,1) means shifting the data to the right by one bit.
diff Angle means the clockwise angle difference from the starting angle (uncorrected value) to the ending angle (uncorrected value),and LSN represents the number of packet samples in this frame.
diff(Angle):　 ( A n g l e ( L S A ) − A n g l e ( F S A ) ) (Angle(LSA) - Angle(FSA)) (Angle(LSA)−Angle(FSA));
If less than zero, d i f f ( A n g l e ) = ( A n g l e ( L S A ) − A n g l e ( F S A ) ) + 360 diff(Angle) = (Angle(LSA)- Angle(FSA)) + 360 diff(Angle)=(Angle(LSA)−Angle(FSA))+360 ,
otherwise
d i f f ( A n g l e ) = ( A n g l e ( L S A ) − A n g l e ( F S A ) ) diff(Angle) = (Angle(LSA)- Angle(FSA)) diff(Angle)=(Angle(LSA)−Angle(FSA)).

double Angle_FSA = (FSA >> 1) / 64;
double Angle_LSA = (LSA >> 1) / 64;
double angle_diff = Angle_LSA - Angle_FSA；
if(angle_diff < 0) {angle_diff += 360;
}
double Angle[LSN];
for(int i = 0; i < LSN; i++) {if(LSN > 1) {Angle[i] = i* angle_diff / (LSN - 1) + Angle_FSA;} else {Angle[i] = Angle_FSA;}
}

Second-level analysis:
Triangle Lidar only has current Second-level analysis, TOF Lidar does not need.
Angle correction formula:
A n g l e i = A n g l e i + A n g C o r r e c t i Angle_{i} = Angle_{i} + AngCorrect_{i} Anglei=Anglei+AngCorrecti; ( 1 , 2 , … , L S N 1,2,\ldots,LSN 1,2,…,LSN)
AngCorrect is the angle correction value, and its calculation formula is as follows, t a n − 1 tan^{-1} tan−1 is an inverse trigonometric function. and the return angle value is:
if( D i s t a n c e i Distance_{i} Distancei == 0)
{
A n g C o r r e c t i AngCorrect_{i} AngCorrecti = 0;
}
else
{
A n g C o r r e c t i = a t a n ( 21.8 ∗ 155.3 − D i s t a n c e i 155.3 ∗ D i s t a n c e i ) ∗ ( 180 / 3.1415926 ) AngCorrect_{i} = atan(21.8 * \frac{155.3 - Distance_{i}}{155.3*Distance_{i}}) * (180/3.1415926) AngCorrecti=atan(21.8∗155.3∗Distancei155.3−Distancei)∗(180/3.1415926);
}

For example, In the data packet, the 4th to 8th bytes are 28 E5 6F BD 79, so LSN = 0x28 = 40(dec), FSA = 0x6FE5, LSA = 0x79BD, and bring in the first-level solution formula, and get:
A n g l e F S A = 223.7 8 ° Angle_{FSA} = 223.78^{°} AngleFSA=223.78°
A n g l e L S A = 243.4 7 ° Angle_{LSA} = 243.47^{°} AngleLSA=243.47°
d i f f ( A n g l e ) = A n g l e L S A − A n g l e F S A = 243.4 7 ° − 223.7 8 ° = 19.6 9 ° diff(Angle) = Angle_{LSA} - Angle_{FSA} = 243.47^{°} - 223.78^{°} = 19.69^{°} diff(Angle)=AngleLSA−AngleFSA=243.47°−223.78°=19.69°
A n g l e i = 19.6 9 ° 39 ∗ ( i − 1 ) + 223.7 8 ° Angle_{i} = \frac{19.69^{°}}{39}*(i -1) + 223.78^{°} Anglei=3919.69°∗(i−1)+223.78° ( 1 , 2 , … , L S N 1,2,\ldots,LSN 1,2,…,LSN)
Assume that in the frame data:
D i s t a n c e 1 = 1000 Distance_{1} = 1000 Distance1=1000
D i s t a n c e L S N = 8000 Distance_{LSN} = 8000 DistanceLSN=8000
bring in the second-level solution formula, you get:
A n g C o r r e c t 1 = − 6.762 2 ° AngCorrect_{1} = -6.7622^{°} AngCorrect1=−6.7622°
A n g C o r r e c t L S N = − 7.837 4 ° AngCorrect_{LSN} = -7.8374^{°} AngCorrectLSN=−7.8374°
A n g l e F S A = A n g l e 1 + A n g C o r r e c t 1 = 217.017 8 ° Angle_{FSA} = Angle_{1} + AngCorrect_{1} = 217.0178^{°} AngleFSA=Angle1+AngCorrect1=217.0178°
A n g l e L S A = A n g l e L S A + A n g C o r r e c t L S A = 235.632 6 ° Angle_{LSA} = Angle_{LSA} + AngCorrect_{LSA} = 235.6326^{°} AngleLSA=AngleLSA+AngCorrectLSA=235.6326°
Similarly, A n g l e i ( 2 , 3 , … , L S N − 1 ) Angle_{i}(2,3, \ldots,LSN-1) Anglei(2,3,…,LSN−1), can be obtained sequentially.

for(int i = 0; i < LSN; i++) {if(Distance[i] > 0) {double AngCorrect = atan(21.8 * (155.3 - Distance[i]) / (155.3 * Distance[i]));Angle[i] += AngCorrect * 180 / M_PI;//degree}if(Angle[i] >= 360) {Angle[i] -= 360;}
}

Note: TOF LiDAR does not neeed second-level analysis.
Check code parsing:
The check code uses a two-byte exclusive OR to verify the
current data packet. The check code itself does not participate in
XOR operations, and the XOR order is not strictly in byte order.
Therefore, the check code solution formula is:
C S = X O R ∑ i = 1 n ( C i ) CS = XOR \sum_{i=1}^{n}(C^i) CS=XORi=1∑n(Ci)
No intensity Si(2B):

uint16_t checksumcal = PH;
checksumcal ^= FSA;
for(int i = 0; i < 2 * LSN; i = i +2 ) {checksumcal ^= uint16_t(data[i+1] <<8 | data[i]);
}
checksumcal ^= uint16_t(LSN << 8 | CT);
checksumcal ^= LSA;## uint16_t : unsigned short

Intensity Si(3B):

uint16_t checksumcal = PH;
checksumcal ^= FSA;
for(int i = 0; i < 3 * LSN; i = i + 3) {checksumcal ^= data[i];checksumcal ^= uint16_t(data[i+2] <<8 | data[i + 1]);
}
checksumcal ^= uint16_t(LSN << 8 | CT);
checksumcal ^= LSA;## uint16_t : unsigned short

源码、编译与运行

1 ）编译过程
创建一个工作空间，把雷达SDK驱动和雷达ROS功能包下载到工作空间的src目录。然后catkin_make编译安装。

mkdir -p ydlidar_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/YDLIDAR/YDLidar-SDK.git
git clone https://github.com/YDLIDAR/ydlidar_ros_driver.git
cd ..
catkin_make

由于SDK驱动支持C++外，还支持PYTHON语言，所以，编译前可能需要先安装swig、python3-pip和python。
编译后，生成 ydlidar_ros_driver包中的ydlidar_ros_driver_node。
然后，环境变量设置：

echo "source ~/ydlidar_ws/devel/setup.bash">> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

运行(对于 YDLidar-G4)：

roslaunch ydlidar_ros2_driver ydlidar_view.launch

其中，startup目录下的initenv.sh，涉及/dev/ttyUSB*的识别，出问题较多。

#!/bin/bash

service udev restart

编译安装后，对于G4雷达生成对应的文件 “/etc/udev/rules.d/ydlidar.rules”，一般的，/dev/ttyUSB0对应于雷达ROS功能包中串口通信中的“port”参数，即：“dev/ydlidar”

问题及解决

在调试G4雷达功能包时，用“ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*”指令，一直显示找不到串口。后来，转而顺利调试了SLD-1雷达，返回来调试G4时，无论在ROS2版本的还是ROS版本的都出现同一个问题。后来在同事的帮助下，换了根C-USB数据线，再试，问题解决了，找到了串口/dev/ttyUSB0。信号线电源线很重要。
如果还不行，用下面的命令映射/dev/ttyUSB0的别名：

cd startup
sudo sh initenv.sh

执行上面命令后，在/etc/udev/rule.d目录下生成与ydlidr对应的端口映射文件。
