My system consists of the following: A PC with a single ethernet port and other USB ports, a robot mobile base, a SICK LMS lidar with ethernet cable, a Velodyne sensor with Ethernet cable.
The robot is connected via serial to usb converter and works fine. The lidar can also be connected to the ethernet and works fine. Now that we have acquired a velodyne 3d Lidar, I am confused as to how to connect this to the computer as there is only one ethernet port available. Should I use a router? Has anyone tried to connect multiple sensors like this. I would be thankful if you can provide details.
