Tutorial: Publish Your 2D LiDAR to ROS 2 on a Raspberry Pi
Publish the LDROBOT LD14P, Xiaomi LDS02RR, or 3irobotix Delta-2A to a ROS 2 /scan topic straight from a Raspberry Pi 5 — no microcontroller, and ROS 2 runs in a container. A C++ LaserScan driver built on kaiaai/LDS.
Tutorial: Connect 3irobotix Delta-2A LiDAR to Raspberry Pi (Python)
Read distance data from a 3irobotix Delta-2A on a Raspberry Pi in Python — and run the PID + PWM loop that spins its motor at 6 Hz via the Maker's Pet driver board, no ESP32 required.
Tutorial: Connect Xiaomi LDS02RR LiDAR to Raspberry Pi (Python)
Read distance data from the ~$15 Xiaomi LDS02RR on a Raspberry Pi in Python — and run the PID + PWM loop that spins its motor at 5 Hz, which the LDS02RR cannot do for itself.
Tutorial: Visualize LDROBOT LD14P LiDAR Live Data in a Browser on Raspberry Pi (Python)
Turn the LD14P's raw distance data into a live polar radar you watch in any web browser — served straight from a headless Raspberry Pi with Flask. Part 3 of the LD14P + Raspberry Pi series.
Tutorial: Control the LDROBOT LD14P LiDAR Motor on Raspberry Pi (Python)
Part 2: stop, start and set the scan speed of the LDROBOT LD14P LiDAR from Python on a Raspberry Pi 5, over UART.
Tutorial: Connect LDROBOT LD14P LiDAR to Raspberry Pi (Python)
Stream live distance data from an LDROBOT LD14P 2D LiDAR on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 using Python and pyserial. Wiring, UART setup, and full source code.
