RPLIDAR A2M12 is a 360-degree triangulation laser sensing scanner that samples at up to 16 kHz, capable of generating 2D point cloud map information for a 12m radius, within low precision, and running for up to 5 years. This next-generation low-cost, high-performance laser scanner will be your great instrument for in-home robots, 3D modelling, etc.
RPLIDAR A2M12 applies the Triangulation Laser Sensing theory that emits and receives laser to measure the distance by calculating the receiving time. By embedded high-speed RPVision3.0 range engine, the RPLIDAR A2M12 offers 360 degrees, 12M radius, 16 kHz light detection and ranging, 0.225° angular resolution(10Hz) with 5 ~ 15Hz adjustable rotational speed, low sensing precision, 5 years reliable operation for the generation of 2D point cloud map information.
With the new brushless motor non-contact drive, the RPLIDAR A2M12 works with ultra-low noise. Additionally, its output laser power is as safe as IEC-60825 Class One eye safety. All of these make it an excellent tool for you to conduct positioning and obstacle detection. Being cup-size and light as 190g, it can be placed anywhere in your home or deployed on a domestic robot like a floor mopping robot, or home care robot.
This low-cost 2D laser scanner (LIDAR) remains high-performance and will be a great assistance to your demonstration of navigation and positioning.
For your convenience, we made a table comparing 6 different RPLiDARs so you can easily pick one that suits your project!

How come my product is not working since arrive and when I connect the PC there doesn't show any port?
Please check if the driver has been installed on your PC, or you can re-download the software.
