best lidar in this price range

Easy to mount and to setup. Up and running in minutes. It doesn't really scan up to 12m, I've tried in indoor well illuminated environment and scan till 5m with good accuracy. One minor details the micro USB cable for the switching module is not provided.

Product is good, but the documentation is terrible

The documentation for this device is terrible, with very little detail or explaination into the SDK. The github repository, demos and SDK is coded for Visual studio 2010 and has specific .dll files for 2010. So can not be used with later versions of Visual studio. The fact that it is called a development kit is a joke. However, the product itself is good for the price and am happy with its performance after a long time trying to decipher the documentation and SDK.

Excellent Product

Excellent Product. Easy to use. Plug and Play. The unit was up and running in 15 minutes. RobotShop guys are the best. Excellent customer service. They knew the subject matter and helped me understand and decide about the product before I could place the order. Good Job RS Team.

Excellent Lidar!

I had it up and running super fast, using the SDK and sample code that it came with, after plugging it into a PC. The SDK sample code is handy to modify and experiment with algorithms as well, before implementing your final design. It does require an older version of Visual Studio though.
