I just received my YLIDAR X2 lidar and it works very good with the pointcloud app that it has. I tried to use the Hitachi LDS plugin in ARC, I select 115200 as baud rate and as I hit start the lidar slows down and after 5 seconds or so I get error messages. Of course I didnt expect it to work right out of the box.

@DJ  Is modifying the Hitachi plugin possible or would it need a new plugin for YLidar?

Here is the link to the sdk in github: https://github.com/YDLIDAR/YDLidar-SDK And here is the link for the lidar: https://www.ydlidar.com/service_support/download.html
