Connect Lidar and PC for evaluation and development. The process involves interconnecting the hardware.
Install the serial port driver for the USB adapter board, which converts UART to USB signals using a CP2102 chip.
Download and compile the YDLidar-SDK repository from GitHub, ensuring git and cmake are installed.
Connect Lidar and PC under Linux. The process is consistent with Windows connection procedures.
Create workspace, copy driver package, compile, and set environment variables for ROS driver.
Install RVIZ packages using apt-get for visualizing LiDAR scan results in ROS.
Execute ROS launch files specific to the LiDAR model to start the driver and publish data.
View LiDAR scan data in RVIZ after running the launch file, displaying spatial scan results.
Adjust 'angle_min' and 'angle_max' parameters in launch files to modify the LiDAR's scanning angle range.
Avoid extreme temperatures (>40°C or <0°C) as they affect accuracy and can damage the system.
Avoid strong light sources and direct sunlight to prevent sensor damage and interference.
Ensure adequate power supply via USB_PWR interface; avoid mobile power banks with high voltage ripple.
