Do you have a list or recommendation on sensors supported by ROS2 (dashing)? I can see a list of sensors supported by ROS - \> [Sensors - ROS Wiki](http://wiki.ros.org/Sensors). Is this list supported by ROS2 ?

I want to buy a 3d Lidar and/or a 3d camera for 3D slam. I have a turtlebot3 waffle\_pi. If anyone has had success with ROS2 and a 3d sensor, I would be very happy to hear about it.

I’ve had success using the Intel RealSense D435 RGB-D camera with ROS2 systems. Intel provides a ROS2 driver for it at [https://github.com/intel/ros2\_intel\_realsense](https://github.com/intel/ros2_intel_realsense).

A couple of months ago I ported the velodyne driver to ROS 2: [GitHub - ros-drivers/velodyne at dashing-devel](https://github.com/ros-drivers/velodyne/tree/dashing-devel) . It isn’t released into Dashing yet, but you can build it from source and it works pretty well.

There is another effort going on to make a more realtime version of the Velodyne driver: [GitHub - ApexAI/velodyne\_driver at initial-checkin](https://github.com/ApexAI/velodyne_driver/tree/initial-checkin)

I am using Orbbec Astra under ROS2 with this driver: [https://github.com/lukaszmitka/ros\_astra\_camera](https://github.com/lukaszmitka/ros_astra_camera).

Thanks for your answer! Do you need the intel board to interface with these cams? I current have the rpi.
