Overview RPLIDAR S1 development kit includes the matched tools used for evaluating RPLIDAR’s performance and initial development. After connecting the RPLIDAR S1 with PC via USB cable and connecting the power adapter to the USB cable, users can observe the cloud map of the environment scanning point collected by the RPLIDAR in RoboStudio and start development based on the SDK.
The USB adapter comes with a dial switch. It can be used to switch the Baud rate from 115200 to 256000 or vice versa, which is compatible with RPLIDAR S1 and former RPLIDAR series. Please note that the Baud rate should be set as 256000 if the USB adapter is connected with RPLIDAR S1..
Connection and Usage Connection RPLIDAR S1 can be easily connected to PC according to the following steps. 1) Connect RPLIDAR S1 with the USB adapter. Figure 2-1 Connect RPLIDAR S1 and USB Adapter 2) Connect the USB adapter to your PC via the Micro-USB cable. If the PC is...

SDK Introduction and Usage RPLIDAR S1 Interface Definition and Specification The standard RPLIDAR S1 uses SH1.0-6P female receptacle and interface lead as communication interface. Detailed interface definition is shown in the following figure: Figure 3-1 RPLIDAR S1 Interface Signal Color...
RPLIDAR S1 uses the one 5V DC power supply for powering the scan motor and the scan core at the same time. No extra power is required. With build-in and speed-adjustable motor driver, RPLIDAR S1 can control the start, the stop and the rotating speed of the motor via the MOTOCTL signal.

Configure RPLIDAR S1 Scan Frequency The RPLIDAR S1’s scan frequency can be modified by invoking the related functions in the SDK to configure the motor speed. Please refer to the RPLIDAR protocol and application note for more information and the SDK for the sample code on RPLIDAR scan frequency.
Improper use may even damage the sensor. Please avoid using RPLIDAR in extreme high temperature (>40 degree) and too low temperature (<-10 degree). Ambient Light Compared with RPLIDAR A series, RPLIDAR S1 performs better to resist ambient light interference, which supports it to work properly in outdoor environment. 16 / 18 Copyright (c) 2009-2017 RoboPeak Team Copyright (c) 2013-2017 Shanghai Slamtec Co., Ltd.
