Hello,
I’m thinking about buying the YDLIDAR G2 for SLAM on a robot mower I’m building and I have a couple questions.
-
Does it come with the device to connect it via USB to a Raspberry Pi 5?
-
Will it be capable of SLAM outdoors?
Hello @ThrowBackDewd ,
Welcome to RobotShop community.
1- Yes, it comes with the USB adapter board.
2- The ideal working environment of G2 is indoor, and the indoor environment light (including no
light) will not affect the work of G2. However, please avoid using strong light sources (such as high
power lasers) to directly illuminate the G2’s vision system.
If you need to use it outdoors, please avoid the G2’s vision system directly facing the sun, which
may cause permanent damage to the vision system’s photosensitive chip, which will invalidate the
range finding.
The G2 standard version will cause interference in the distance measurement under the
conditions of outdoor strong sunlight reflection, please pay attention to it.
Feel free to contact us again if you need further assistance.
Sincerely,
