Standard Kit Hardware Checklist

The OutdoorNav Standard Kit from Clearpath Robotics contains:

  • SwiftNav Piksi/Duro GNSS (x2)
  • Microstrain GX5-25 AHRS
  • Velodyne Puck (VLP-16) 3D LiDAR

To integrate this kit onto your robot, ensure that all of the requirements below are satisfied for proper operation of the OutdoorNav software.

Requirement
All sensors have been mounted to the UGV with fixed brackets. Ie. the sensor should not move or rotate relative to the UGVs base_link.
Spacing between the GNSS antennas is greater than 0.7 m.
SwitfNav Piksi/Duro GNSS units and Velodyne LiDAR unit have been configured to communicate over ethernet (IP). IP sensors are assigned within the following ranges on the 192.168.131.XXX subnet and recorded in the table below.
LiDARs: 192.168.131.20-29, GNSS: 192.168.131.30-39, Microhard: 192.168.131.50-59
