Hello,

Thank you !

You can use the RPLidar S1 at 115200 bps but you need to change the baud rate, you can find an example of how to do this here:

github.com

Slamtec/rplidar_sdk/blob/master/app/custom_baudrate/main.cpp

/*
 *  SLAMTEC LIDAR
 *  Demo for Changing the  Baudrate of a Serial Port Communication based LIDAR
 *
 *  Notice:
 *  1. This demo requires the LIDAR  to support the baudrate negotiation mechanism to work
 *    For A-series LIDARs, the firmware version must be higher or equal to 1.30
 *
 *  2. The USB Adaptor Board included in the development kit can NOT be used unless the target baudrate will be 115200bps or 256000bps.

Hello @geraldinebc15
Thank you for your answer. I feel really bad, because I’m really bad at programmation.
OMG I’m definitely not able to launch this code, I don’t even know what code this is …
I’m facing big troubles haha !

Hello!

Not that I’m aware of, but you can try contacting the manufacturer and ask them directly:
