@DJ Hi, I have a lidar scanner from a xiaomi vacuum cleaner and am using an aruino leonardo and this code "https://github.com/getSurreal/XV_Lidar_Controller"; to use it in ARK. Is the XV11 Lidar plugin capable of sending data to The Navigator?

XV11 LIDAR
by CochranRobotics
Real-time 2D mapping from Neato XV-11 360° LIDAR via GetSurreal controller; exports $LIDARDistance/$LIDARIntensity, configurable angles, color, zoom.
Requires ARC
v15
I didn’t make it, so no
I recall DJ said he was exploring a live hack video and that was one of the options but then he was Covid locked down in Ontario away from his toys.
Yah I would have to create my own plug-in for it. The existing plug-in I didn’t make.
Is the Hitachi-LG LDS Lidar data so different from the XV-11? Could it be just a minor change in the plugin to work?
Not sure - I have it on the todo list to take a look at one day. I’m guessing it’s somewhat similar, minus parsing and how ever the crc is verified. I’m sure it’s a minor change since it probably operates the similar way. Are you gonna take a look at it?
Yeah, i will hock it up and see what i get.
Nice - let me know what you come up with and i'll give you a hand between projects
I added the github repo for you to reference the hitachi sourcecode for your port: https://synthiam.com/Support/Skills/Navigation/Hitachi-LG-LDS-Lidar?id=20086
