Topic: RPLidar S1 for driver debugging
Proposal type: Hardware
Description:
For AP 4.5.x we added support for the RPLidarS1 and we have two users attempting to use it and complaining that it doesn’t work correctly (see discussion here).
Sadly I no longer have access to the lidar so I would like to purchase a replacement. The only alternative that I can imagine is to remove support. I don’t think that remote debugging with user’s hardware is realistic.
By the way, there is an S2 now but that’s not what we have a driver for nor is it what the users have so I think we should stick with the older model (that also has a longer range than the S2).
Planned amount $$ (USD): $600
I plan to purchase from Robot Shot here
