Sick config

The sick_config program is used to send configuration packets to the SICK LIDAR sensors. The configuration packets can change the baud rate that the sensor uses, the measuring mode/accuracy, and the password used to log into the system.

[edit] Usage

Usage:    sick_config   <options>
	[-k]		Keep the current baud setting
	[-p password]	Send password
	[-m mode]	Measuring mode(8,16,32,80)
	[-u mode]	Distance units(cm,mm)
	[-s speed]	Set the current speed (9600, 19200, 38400, 500000)

When running the program alone, it will output some binary information, such as:

$ sick_config -s 9600
�� B

Often, this binary command needs to be redirected to the device that the SICK is connected to. For example:

while true ; do sick_config -k -p SICK_LMS > /dev/ttyS15 ;  done
