Review: Worked right out of the box - I have two of the Slamtec A1M8s, but needed the O&M of the smaller A2M8 version as I had limited room to mount the Lidar on the front of my Traxxas 1/10 scale 4WD Slash Truck Chassis. I have built a Lidar test fixture that consists of a Rpi 3B+ and a Waveshare LCD display that is programmed with the Adafruit RPLidar Python program to display range data as dots on the LCD display. As expected, the A2M8 worked right out of the box, however, unlike its A1M8 cousin, the turret does not start spinning until the display program request range data and then it begins to spin. If you have an application for a Lidar, but have limited mounting space, this is the Lidar for you.

## Features

- [High Accuracy] RPlidar A2M8 has a sampling rate of 8000 times/s. In addition, The laser ranging distance can reach up to 12 meters Based on white objects with 70% reflectivity,so it can collect environmental information at a rather higher speed and accuracy than RPlidar A1M8, ensure a real-time performance.
- [360 Degree 2D Scanning] The ranging core of RPLIDAR A1M8 rotates clockwise, performs 360 degree 2D omnidirectional laser range scan on the surrounding environment, and generates an outline map. configurable scan rate from 5~15Hz, Typical 10Hz.
- [Plug and Play] With the 3 feature: Build-in Serial Port and USB Interface, Open Source SDK and Tools and Integration with ROS, Just connecting the RPLIDAR and a computer via a micro USB cable, users can use the RPLIDAR without any coding job. OPTMAG technology, which repairs electrical connection errors due to physical wear and prolong the life-span.
- High-speed RPVision Range Engine: RPVision 2.0
- OPTMAG Original Design; Five years ultra-long life; Laser Safety Standard: Class 1
