You can add a new handler or those messages, see the comments in ArGPS.cpp. You can do this by modifying ArGPS, or by creating a subclass of ArGPS that includes those handlers which are specific to your GPS (comments on this are also in ArGPS, and see ArNovatelGPS and ArTrimbleGPS for examples).

There are default values set for all pioneers, then there are specializations for p3dx, p3dx-sh, etc. These values in PioneerRobotModels.world.inc set default values and limits. The client software (ARIA, ARNL) can also set the speed values. In the case of delta heading (DHEAD), the speed can be changed on the fly with a SETRV command (ArRobot::setRotVelMax() in ARIA); this will override MobileSim's default_speed. (ArAction requests can also change speeds, as can ARNL e.g. through its config.) You can tell ArRobot to log movement commands with ArRobot::setLogMovementSent(), results of ArAction with setLogActions(), and all packets with ArRobot::setPacketsSentTracking() if you want to diagnose whether something is using ARIA to set those values. You can also ask MobileSim to log all its current state using the SIM_CTRL command (see MobileSim's README.html) if that's useful.

We examined it again more in detail by printing the ArTime object of the ArSensorReadings of the SICK and and the time between two redings was 110 ms although we called getRawReadings with ~15Hz from the Camera thread so we got several readings from the Laser multiple times. Thus I thougt it might be possible, that the readings of the laser are updated by the ArRobot cycle. I also had a closer look at the ArLaser and LMS2xx classes and found the private method laserProcessReadings (don't know if recall the name exactly right, because I am at home right now), which seems to be triggered by a sensorInterpCB by ArRobot. The next thing I wanted to try after the weekend is to add a sensorInterpCB to our camera class and see if we can get the readings at a higher rate. Is this a viable option or could it collide with the sensorInterpCB from the ArRobot object? I hope I explained it better now.

Yes, there are several command line options to set different levels of graphics, --lite-graphics and --no-graphics just disable the graphics (but still show the GUI window), which can relieve a bit of processing load, or --no-gui to not show any GUI at all. --no-gui also implies --noninteractive. There's also --minimize-gui (minimizes/iconifies window). Note that it will still try to connect to an X server if you're on Linux, however. (This may be fixed in the future.)

You can use --no-graphics in addition to --minimize-gui if you want, then it skips trying to draw any of the graphics which may reduce cpu load slightly.

I want to know exactly what the robot was detecting at each point, not what it thought it was detecting. Does the MobileSim model the laser scan as being instantaneous or do I have to factor in the velocity of the robot when plotting the records produced by ArSickLogger? Explanation: I am trying to run some simulations with no noise and perfect sensor readings as a baseline. So in ~/.MobileRobots/include/local_definitions.inc I created: define sick-noerr sicklms200 ( noise 0 reading_angle_error 0 ) define p3dx-tif p3dx ( sick-noerr( pose [0 0 0] ) odom_error [0 0 0] ) I then use '-r p3dx-tif:myrobot' option to starting MobileSim. I also tried copying the sicklms200 and p3dx models and changed their names and changed/added the variables above. The client I run uses goto commands to execute the same path each time. I realize that there is going to be some small error from converting between different frames of reference but when I plot the data from the sick logger in octave it looks the same as when I just use '-r p3dx:myrobot' (ie some points are >10mm out). Every method I try to eliminate error in the models does not appear to work. It always looks like there is error building up in the angle of the robot's pose.

The current version of ARIA is 2.7.2 which you can find more information about at http://robots.mobilerobots.com/wiki/Aria . I forgot to also ask, are you using Windows or Linux?
