I have problem with RP-LIDAR A2M12 sensor. it works with own connector and TTL to USB converter, but it doesn’t work with my autopilot.
I connect it to CUAV-X7+ and set the parameters as same as below link :
https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-rplidar-a2.html
but it doesn’t work!!!
I also powered up sensor with external USB cable with my PC and still not work(I connect GND)!
anyone can help me?
Hello
The driver for this model has not been developped yet.
Available models are here:
https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-rangefinder-landingpage.html#omnidirectional-proximity-rangefinders
It’s RP-LiDAR sensor of series A2!
This is at the list on the link you sent with name : * RPLidar A2 360 degree laser scanner and in this link ((Connecting and Configuring)) explained!
I mean, it seems there is some difference between flavors of the same model (M8 - M12).
Looking at the ROS driver, I see different baud rates and operating modes
Maybe checking on the most obvious = baud rate seems to be defaulted to 256k on the M12
I don’t understand.
You mean I try with different baudrate? I try with 57, 115, 256 and still not working.
Hi joe, i’m also strugggling with it , did you solve the problem, please share
Hi
I connect the sensor to TELEM2 port and set this parameter:
SERIAL2_PROTOCOL = 11 → LiDAR 360
SERIAL2_BAUD = 115 → 115200 Baudrate
PRX1_TYPE = 5
PRX1_ORIENT = 0/1 → 0 for mounted on the top and 1 for mounted upside down
BRD_SER2_RTSCTS = 0 → manually disable flow control of serial2 port
After setting up, check the sensor with Ctrl+F pop-up in proximity.
This setup works for me!
