Read Article →YDLIDAR G4 Triangulation Series Distance Sensoris an Industrial grade 360° LIDAR Sensor with 16M sensing range. Comes with UART output. High-quality brushless motors and bearings ensure stable and reliable operation. Suitable for Robotics, UAVs, Autonomous Vehicles, etc
Lidar stands for “Light Detection and Ranging.” It is an active remote sensing technology, meaning it sends out pulses of energy, and then reads the reflected return of that energy, to gather information about the world around it. Lidar uses the light detection technique to calculate depth. It measures the time it takes for each laser pulse to bounce back from an obstacle. This pulsed laser measurement creates 2D or 3D models (a point cloud).LIDAR Sensors are high-performance distance sensors offering long-range distance sensing, high resolution & accuracy in readings, long life, smaller size, and digital interface.LIDAR sensors use multiple technologies to calculate the obstacle distance, such as time of flight, pulsed array emitters, etc.
YDLiDAR G4 is an Industrial Grade 360° 2D LiDAR that uses the Triangulation principle, it is designed to rotate 360° and continuously output the point cloud data of the scanning environment. It includes unique optics, electricity, and algorithms to achieve stability, precision, sensitivity, and high-speed distance measurement techniques to output point cloud data. The speed of rotation can be controlled using a PWM signal. The sensor is capable of outputting up to 5000 readings per second. It can detect points up to 16m with an accuracy of 2%. The sensor comes with an angle resolution of 0.48°.
It operates on 5V and can connect to a microcontroller, PLC, and computer through a UART interface. Please go through the development manual under the Downloads Tab for the detailed manuals and commands and responses by the sensor.
YDLIDAR provides an evaluation software - Point Cloud Viewer to test and use the sensor. The software can display live sensor readings, log readings and also debug messages. Use this software as a plug-and-play option to test and evaluate the sensor for your application.
Linux SDK is available to write your custom code.
LiDAR is used alongside other sensors such as cameras and RADAR for mapping, object detection and identification, and navigation as they are relatively independent of varying lighting conditions
