Where do you buy the NEATO LIDAR?

I believe RobotShop carries them. Not cheap cheap.

i see them very cheap $135 + $7 SHIPPING i pretest them on a board that has usb output and speed control circuit ,with a python code also much info on the hack site for windows and linux driver plus API commands this site has many many posts on the LIDAR on how to use it to make the board very simple all you need is usb to ttl converter and simple 555 timer circuit for speed control, robotshop has them for $299

Where do you see them for $135?

Google is not helping me here.

They show up on Ebay from time to time. People buy whole ones then break them down and sell the parts for an overall profit. No names

I SELL THEM.WILL PUT ANOTHER ONE,I HAVE ABOUT 7 OF THEM sorry i do have up the price a little on shipping on ebay ebay charges 10% fee and and buy it now fee

So wait... you buy a neato, take it apart and sell the parts on ebay for a profit?

Brilliant!

Wish I had time to do that.

Are we on the cusp of having a hobby grade lidar? Maybe I should just wait one month and buy one for $50 that comes with a manual and software?

Does anyone have an inside scoop on this?

most likely wont see one,this is about the same accuracy of $1200 LIDAR and robotshop sells them for $299
