Slamtec RPLIDAR A1 Laser Ranging Sensor, 360° Omnidirectional Lidar
RPLIDAR A1 can perform a 360-degree scan within a 12-meter range. The produced 2D point cloud data can be used in mapping, localization, and object/environment modeling. The scanning frequency of RPLIDAR A1 reached 5.5hz when sampling 1450 points each round. And it can be configured up to 10hz① maximum. RPLIDAR A1 is basically a laser triangulation measurement system. It can work excellently in all kinds of indoor environments and outdoor environments without direct sunlight exposure.
RPLIDAR A1 contains a range scanner system and a motor system. After power on each sub-system, RPLIDAR A1 starts rotating and scanning clockwise. Users can get range scan data through the communication interface (Serial port/USB).

OPTMAG Original Design
Most traditional non-solid LIDARs use slip ring to transfer power and data information, however, they only have thousands of hours lifetime due to mechanical wear and tear. RPLIDAR A1 has integrated the wireless power and optical communication technology to self-design the OPTMAG technology, which breakouts the life limitation of traditional LIDAR system. It fixes the electrical connection failure caused by the physical wearing out so as to prolong the life-span.
Configurable Scan Rate From 2-10 Hz
Users Can Adjust The Scan Rate By Motor PWM Signal
