Support for RPLidar C1

Open sepastian opened this issue 4 months ago • 3 comments

Hello, thanks for this great library!

I own an RPLidar C1. The documentation states on page 7 that:

The RPLIDAR C1 adopts traditional sampling protocols and the high-speed sampling protocol for outputting the 5000 times per second laser range scan data. The RPLIDAR C1 is compatible with all communication protocols used by previous RPLIDAR S Series products and the traditional sampling protocol (standard) of the A Series products, users can directly in place of previous RPLIDAR models and use it in the original system.

So, theoretically, LDS should be supporting the C1 already - correct?

I noticed that the C1 is using a baud rate of 460800, though. I changed that in https://github.com/kaiaai/LDS/blob/main/examples/lds_basic_esp32/lds_basic_esp32.ino, but cannot get the Lidar to return any data. The ESP32 doesn't seem to be able to connect to it.

Am I missing something (obvious)?

Which steps would be involved in adding the RPLidare C1 to LDS?

Thanks!
