Re: robot_params for P2DX

Hi Paul,

The p2os patch in question came from one of the guys at MobileRobots, I went
ahead and applied it because the description said it added support for new
devices.  I don't have access to a Pioneer myself, so unfortunately I can't
verify whether or not the patch breaks things.

The next time a big patch like this comes up which has the potential to
break some of the more widely used drivers, I'll solicit the developers
mailing list and ask if people would test it against their hardware before I
apply it.  I think waiting about a week after an announcement should be
sufficient.  Is that a workable resolution?

Thanks,

Rich

Subject: [Playerstage-developers] robot_params for P2DX

Hello,

Recent changes in robot_params.* for P2OS driver caused usual problem on 
P2DX: sonar readings are silently converted to ints which results in array 
full of zeros, so nothing can be read from sonar device. This happens 
everytime anyone upgrade robot_params.* files, so then I need to prepare 
patch that reverts sonar reading capabilities.
Can we do anything to prevent such situations in the future?

Cheers,
Paul
