When running with the Livox Mid360, the map saving process does not complete.

[falconkun]

I want to create a map using the Livox Mid360, but when I execute the map saving command, it doesn't complete.
I've modified the settings in params.yaml and rviz2.rviz, but are there any other settings I should configure?
The Ouster OS1 worked without any issues.

Hi,

could you share how did you adapt LIO-SAM to MID360?

I've got MID360 working properly with FAST LIO ROS 2, but couldn't make it work in this case :(

Thanks

Hey, I'm trying to use FAST-LIO ROS2 with mid360 also, I can scan with point cloud generated but there were no mapping and I couldn't save the map at all.

May I know how did you do it?

Thanks!

What do you mean with point cloud generated but there were no mapping? and that you couldn´t save the map at all?

Are you referring you can SLAM and see the mapping in rviz but that the point cloud is not saved?

I am facing such issue. I can have pointclouds, but there is no SLAM

Please, open an issue in FAST LIO ROS2 repository specifying what command do you launch and mention me.
