This is a basic console app to control Gocator 20x0 3D laser profilers. I'm mainly using this repo to organize my code as I work through a final application, and it's probably of limited interest to anyone else.
Currently the app works with a Gocator 2020 connected to an RLS LM10IC050 encoder, and outputs range data as a comma-delimited x,y,z file. You'll need the Gocator SDK. This repo is Linux-only but it's fairly easy to port to the Windows equivalent; I've only tried with Visual Studio 2008 myself.
Also included is a demo wxPython app to plot the file as a 3D point cloud.
