Network Setup for LAN sensors

To use OptiTUIO™ with the supported LIDAR network sensors you have to make sure that the computer which is running the OptiTUIO™ software is in the same network like your connected sensor.


Follow this steps to make sure your computer can see the sensor in the network:

  • Open the Network Connections Window Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

  • If the sensor is connected correct then you will get a reply from the sensor
  • If the sensor is not replying you have a wrong network setup

Setup for USB sensors

OptiTUIO™ supports the Hokuyo URG04 UG01 sensor. This sensor has no network connection and uses a USB connection.

To make sure the sensor gets recognized from Windows and in the OptiTUIO™ software you have to make sure that the serial COM port is setup correctly.

  • Open the device manager and check which com port is assigned to the sensor
  • setup the same com port in OptiTUIO
