## Features

- 【High Accuracy】This laser scanner series has a sampling rate of 8000 times/s and is the highest performance in the COSPA LIDAR industry. In addition, The laser ranging distance is 12 meters, so it can collect environmental information well.
- 【360 Degree Scanning】The ranging core of RPLIDAR A1M8 rotates clockwise, performs 360 degree omnidirectional laser range scan on the surrounding environment, and generates an outline map. configurable scan rate from 2~10Hz, Typical 5.5Hz.
- 【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 Original Design】This laser scanner integrates wireless power and optical communication technology with OPTMAG technology, which repairs electrical connection errors due to physical wear and prolong the life-span.
- 【Widely Application】It can be used for home service/cleaning robot navigation and localization, general robot navigation and localization, smart toy’s localization and obstacle avoidance, environment scanning and 3D re-modeling, General simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), etc.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the uart baud rate selectable ?**
A: It's fixed UART baud rate for A1M8.

**Q: what is this for?**
A: If you have a drone or robot it detects distance. Setup is not novice friendly.

**Q: can I limit the angle of rotation using code? I only want it to scan within a 90 degree range.**
A: It's mechanically coupled to a motor with a belt drive. The motor may be a stepper, but in any case it needs to rotate with a constant angular velocity because the laser pulses are timed. Mechanically limiting the sweep would be counter productive - it would need to slow down and then re-accelerate the laser head. That would mean variable times between samples, and also it's probably slower to do than just letting the thing rotate the remaining 270 degrees. But in software you could limit the samples you analyze all you wanted to.

**Q: What power source is required for this? I want to use it on a Raspberry Pi**
A: You have to use a shield w/power supply.

    Phenomena autonomous robot sensor!
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2021*

Phenomenal sensor for use atop your autonomous robot! You must be able to program to use it. It comes with a little bit of sample code in C. This is an older design, but works exceptionally well indoors. I verified its max range outdoors at night is around 16,000 mm/52 feet (perfect conditions). Indoors it easily works to 8,000 mm/26 feet. The Windows tools it works with are bloated and might have security issues (I am a cybersecurity professional, and they worry me!). I recommend using 3rd party tools (robot os, C/C++, Python, etc). Got device tested in minutes, working with my robot in hours. Exceptional device for the price!

    Great product
  

*by B***5 on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2020*

The Lidar came nicely packaged and protected. All the pieces were in the box with instructions for a quick start. I haven't used it yet, I am building a turtlebot and planning to use this lidar for it. The nice thing about this lidar is that it has a standard lidar shape so I was able to find a model to 3d print for its support.

    Good for me (noob)
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2021*

Works out of the box. This is my first LiDAR and the less expnsive brither to the A2M8, which i will eventually use for current project. I have had no operational issues while learning the ins and outs of ROS. The mechanical operqtion does have a weird humming noise that sounds like grinding, and that is my main con.pro:cheapeasy setuplibraries and support for projects using Python, ROScons:weird grinding noise when operatingthe connector is located on the bottom therefor i cannot sit the Lidar on the floor since the connected wire will bear the weight causing the LiDAR to tilt. Maybe it does not matter once its in my vehicle, but as a solo setup its a huge ain to make my own setup for testing/prototyping
