2. Hokuyo 10LX Ethernet Connection Setup

Note

If you have a 30LX or a LIDAR that connects via USB, you can skip this section.

Equipment Required:

  • Fully built F1TENTH vehicle with a Hokuyo 10LX lidar

  • Pit/Host Laptop OR

  • External monitor/display, HDMI cable, keyboard, mouse

Approximate Time Investment: 30 minutes

Connect to the Jetson NX either via SSH or a wired connection (monitor, keyboard, mouse).

In order to utilize the 10LX you must first configure the eth0 network. From the factory the 10LX is assigned the following ip: 192.168.0.10. Note that the lidar is on subnet 0.

Open Network Configuration in the Linux GUI on the Jetson NX. In the ipv4 tab, add a route such that the eth0 port is assigned

  • IP address 192.168.0.15

  • Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

  • Gateway is 192.168.0.10

Call the connection Hokuyo. Save the connection and close the network configuration GUI.

When you plug in the 10LX make sure that the Hokuyo connection is selected. If everything is configured properly you should now be able to ping 192.168.0.10.
