Driver for the Hokuyo PBS 03JN IR range finder.

The PBSDriver controls the PBS 03JN IR range finder and interprets its data output. The driver operation defaults are:

  • The full range (190 degree) output is continously sampled and published (121 range readings)
  • Sample time: 300 ms
  • Serial port: dev/ttyS01
  • Baud rate : 57600
  • Pose of range finder related to the body (e.g. robot) on which it is fixed: [x,y,yaw] = [0,0,0]

Currently, these options are not configuration options
