LORDWORLD RPLIDAR A1 360° Lidar 12m 8000 Hz development board

SKU CH-F7EC-67WE6

A 360° omnidirectional laser scanner that samples at 8000 Hz for 12 m range mapping with a configurable 2-10 Hz scan rate

  • 360° omnidirectional scanning builds a complete contour map of the surroundings
  • 8000 samples per second lets robots map faster and with higher accuracy
  • Adjustable 2–10 Hz scan rate via motor PWM matches speed to application needs
  • 12 metre ranging distance covers medium-range indoor and outdoor environments
  • Full documentation set including datasheet, manuals and protocol spec speeds up development

360° Laser Scanning for Robotics

The LORDWORLD RPLIDAR A1 is a 360-degree omnidirectional lidar sensor designed for robotics developers and maker projects. It rotates clockwise to capture contour maps of the surrounding environment with a maximum range of 12 metres. The device delivers a sample rate of 8000 Hz for detailed spatial data acquisition.

Configurable Scan Rate and Documentation

Users can adjust the scan rate between 2 and 10 Hz via the motor PWM signal to suit specific mapping speed requirements. The upgraded optical design and algorithm system supports faster and more accurate map generation for autonomous navigation. Rich technical documentation includes a datasheet, user manual, application manual, and protocol specification to accelerate development.

Integration via PWM Control

Installation involves connecting the sensor to a host controller and configuring the motor PWM signal to set the desired scan frequency. Developers must implement the communication protocol using the provided specification to parse ranging data. Common issues include incorrect PWM duty cycle settings causing unstable rotation and insufficient power supply current leading to scan dropout.

Questions about this item

How often does the rotating laser core need cleaning or motor replacement?

The 360° rotating ranging core should be kept free of dust on its optical window; no user-serviceable motor replacement interval is published by the manufacturer.

What limits continuous scanning at the 8000 Hz sample rate?

The motor PWM adjusts scan speed from 2 to 10 Hz; sustained operation at the top scan rate is bounded by thermal limits of the laser driver and motor assembly.

How much heat and noise does the unit produce when scanning all day?

The spinning core and laser emitter generate continuous low-level motor whine and warmth in the housing; adequate airflow around the board keeps temperatures stable during extended runs.
