Hi,
I am trying to turn ON/OFF the integrated L1 LiDAR of my Unitree GO2 EDU robot.
Based on the robot’s manual (https://support.unitree.com/home/en/developer/LiDAR_service) I can do that by publishing a std_msgs::msg::dds_::String_ in the “rt/utlidar/switch” DDS topic. In fact, when I do it the Lidar pointcloud stops being published and the Lidar stops rotating. However, when I check the power consumption, there is no difference in consumption when turning OFF the sensor.
According to the L1 manual (宇树科技 文档中心) the LiDAR consumes 6W in normal conditions and less than 1W in stand-by status.
Could you confirm me that “rt/utlidar/switch” does not effectively sets the L1 to stand-by status? If so, how do I switch it to stand-by in order to save energy?
Thanks,
Arnau
