Velodyne Lidar using Matlab UDP

Hi, i want to connect a Velodyne Lidar using Matlab UDP, i know each packet is 1248 Byte long, address 192.168.1.210 and port 2368, the sample time for each packet is about 0.0013 seconds, but everytime i try to read the data i get nothing.

Which function should i use ? I've already try with fread, step, and some others.

Hi Pavel,

Have you used the velodynelidar function in MATLAB that can be used for live acquisition from a LiDAR sensor? Here is an example.

Hi Madhura Suresh, this question is quite old, I solved it arround one and a half year ago by reading the sensor in ROS and then reading the topic from MATLAB.

Now, I see that your sugestion is a new function just introduced in MATLAB 2019a, so I will give it a look.

Thanks !
