I was able to get the demo software up and running. I was a little worried about the software aspect of it after reading some reviews but It wasn't bad. I've used it on a robot with ROS and created maps that are far better than the other Lidar units I have used. This is a great, small, and powerful 360 degree lidar. I am now back to the drawing board.Ī great, small, and powerful 360 degree lidar! Unfortunately for the speed of my indented target - this S1 RPLIDAR is too slow. Once this was under control, I then moved to my intended use. It was interesting to see the quality of the target change with these materials. I even assessed the reflection quality of the unit based on four different stationary targets (wood dowel, chrome reflective tube, black reflective dowel and white round rubber target) all around the same diameter and distance. The measurements are pretty accurate (down to a few cm and I was operating within a tight environment for my test (2mx 2.5m). The unit is very stable and once scanning it reports information at the given frequency (I was operating at 10hz). This took many hours to piece together Arduino code, videos, forums, their SDKs, etc -but eventually I got it operating in my environment. After confirming it was operational I then moved to the Arduino code. They did respond - and for this I thank them - but it was slow. That one explanation took 4 days with a 24 hour response time due to working with folks in China. I struggled with their documentation and even basic interface program, as they omitted to explain basic steps like 'clink in the blank area on the left side of the screen below the word LIDAR and you will be able to select the COM port'. I ultimately had to get it operational on an Arduino type platform, so understood there would be challenges, as the most current SDK for Arduino was from 2014! The engineers also warmed me about that though they pointed to their current Windows, Linus, etc. Data Communication and Human Input DevicesĪfter doing an assessment of the best LIDAR in the Slamtech family for my unique application, and conversing many times with Slamtech engineering, I decided to purchase one S1 unit to test it out.
