Let me know if there's anything else i can help you with on this great plugin
We will definitely look into making these changes!
May I ask which LIDAR sensor you used for this project? XV11 maybe? Does it work for multiple LIDAR sensors?
Thanks for your time!
I m guessing is a XV11 lidar looking to the existent code it's similar to XV11 data packets, although, it seems the implementation does not handle all the data packet (22 bytes), each packet contains 4 angles and the plugin only handles the first angle so the resolution is 4 deg, maybe, it was intentional.
Asfaik you can have multiple XV 11 lidars connected through the serial port.
Yeah the XV11 is one of the more popular LIDAR sensors out there, thank you for verifying in the code.
Sorry, my question about multiple LIDAR sensors was asking if the Plug-in was generic, if it worked with different types of LIDAR sensors or just the XV11. It sounds like it's just the XV11.
