RPLidar with Pi Pico

Post by dhg »

Dear all,

I have a Slamtec RPLidar A1 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4010) that I am using with Raspberry Pi 4B with using USB-to-Serial Adapter came with lidar. I am also using adafruit library to stream the data from the lidar (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Ci ... on_RPLIDAR).

I would like to connect this lidar to my Pi Pico and would like to use it with the same library that Adafruit has created, but I don't know which GPIO pin I should connect the motor pin of lidar as well as what changes need to be done in code/library. Does anyone know how to do?

Thank you for the help.

The library is meant to use the RPLidar with its USB adaptor. I worked for a while trying to get it working with a FeatherM4, without success.
