Code Snippets LiDAR

Below are some example code snippets to help you get started with the LiDAR Sensor Kit:

Read Device Type

The LiDAR Starter Kit provides advanced features for developers to customize and optimize their applications. This guide covers how to interact with the device programmatically and configure it for specific use cases.

import socket

HOST = "192.168.0.1" 
PORT = 2111

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((HOST, PORT))
    s.sendall(b"\x02sRN DItype\x03")
    data = s.recv(1024)

print(f"Received {data}")

Read scan data

To retrieve scan data from the LiDAR Starter Kit, you can use the following Python script. This script demonstrates how to send a command to the device and receive the corresponding scan data response.

import socket

HOST = "192.168.0.1" 
PORT = 2111

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((HOST, PORT))
    s.sendall(b"\x02sRN LMDscandata\x03")
    data = s.recv(1024)

print(f"Received {data}")

Read scan data continous

To continuously read scan data from the LiDAR Starter Kit, you can use the following Python script. This script enables the device to send scan data in real-time, which can be processed as needed for your application.

import socket
import time

HOST = "192.168.0.1" 
PORT = 2111

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((HOST, PORT))
    s.send(b"\x02sEN LMDscandata 1\x03")

    while True:
        data = s.recv(2048)
        print(data)
