Power Hokuyo UST 10LX from Kobuki (Turtlebot)

Hello! I recently purchased a Hokuyo UST 10LX, and i’m having a difficult time figuring out how to get power from the Kobuki (Turtlebot 2) to the scanner. Also, I don’t recognize the connector and it’s too tiny to really plug it into anything. If anyone could shed some light / share their knowledge I would greatly appreciate it!

Link to info about Hokuyo and the specific uses of each power wire:

Thank you for your time!


As detailed in the Hokuyo UST-10LX Scanning Laser Rangefinder user guide, the cable wiring is as follows:

]Red: COM Input +/:m]
]Gray: COM Output -/:m]
]Light Blue: IP Reset Input/:m]
]Orange: Synchronous Output/:m]
]Brown +VIN (12VDC / 24VDC)/:m]
]Blue: -VIN/:m]If you plan to use Ethernet for communication, you really only need to connect the Brown and Blue power cables.
Does your robot have 12V output?

Thank you for your response! It solved my problem/question. On the turtlebot, there is a 12v output.
