Hi @beyza, I’ve moved your post here because it’s requesting support for the package which was shared in this thread. > [@beyza](#): > > 1. Is there an official or supported ROS2 package for obtaining data from the Ping360 sonar? > > … > > 1. What is the recommended way to use Ping360 in ROS2 for mapping and obstacle detection? Blue Robotics does not currently provide an official or supported ROS2 package for Ping360 interfacing, and nor do we have a specifically recommended package (it’s not a space we’ve investigated or contributed to). I’m afraid I can’t meaningfully respond to the rest of your questions, as they relate to technologies and implementation details I’m not familiar with. * * * In case it’s relevant, any packages that haven’t been updated since July this year are unlikely to support [the new `auto_transmit` messages](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/ping360-firmware-update/21023), so will have slower scanning speeds than the device is capable of (due to the communication overheads of individually requesting a profile at each angle). I would also note that we’re in the process of transitioning BlueOS to primarily using Zenoh for communication, with MCAP files for synchronised data recording (both of which I believe are quite ROS compatible). It’s possible that will make this kind of integration more straightforward in future, but I’m unsure whether there’ll be integration of peripherals in that kind of capacity. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/ping360-ros-package/6503)._
