Slamtec RPLIDAR A1M8 2D 360 Degree 12 Meters Scanning Radius LIDAR Sensor Scanner for Obstacle Avoidance and Navigation of Robots

great product for my robot

I’m very happy with this purchase. The product functions exactly as described and performs reliably without any issues. Setup was simple, and everything worked right out of the box. I was also impressed with the packaging – it was secure and neatly done, ensuring the item arrived in perfect condition. It's clear the seller took care in both the quality of the product and how it was delivered. Would definitely recommend to others and wouldn’t hesitate to buy again!

Works great. No problems with the operation. For a hobby grade, it is highly capable and does its job well. Using it for my robotics experiments

I've bought two of these, first one was DOA, I spent weeks troublehsooting my code, trying different packages and banging my head on the table, finally I set up RoboStudio on a Windows machine and saw that my LiDAR was non-functional, by then it was out of the return window. I purchased another one, tested with RoboStudio first and it worked perfectly. After being discouraged by the wasted weeks from the first dead LiDAR, my project sat for months. Now I'm motivated again, got my system working and now when querying data from the LiDAR the resolution was terrible, after a couple days, it stopped giving any data. Back to RoboStudio and it would intermittently provide data for a few minutes then nothing. Another dead LiDAR. Unfortunatley I've spent months designing and building my platform for my compute package including the lidar, changing to something will require restructuring all of that. I'm very disappointed in the device.

I loaded up the windows demo and it worked like a charm, but I couldn’t find any Linux drivers for the device and since all of my robots run Linux I ended up returning it

This device is really good, it meet all my requirements. But will want the manifacture to introduce additional improvements...

This is a terrific product. The lidar device itself is small and fairly quiet. The real benefit is the ROS2 support. The Slamtec company makes it so easy to integrate into ROS, in that once you colcon build the project, you just launch it and lidar data starts streaming to a ROS pub endpoint.

Cumple con las especificaciones ofrecidas. Llegó a tiempo.
