libsweep-rs

This is a Rust wrapper for the Sweep SDK for interacting with the Scanse Sweep LIDAR unit.

Instructions

• Clone the repo at https://github.com/scanse/sweep-sdk and follow build instructions
• Build this crate with cargo build
• For now, modify the source code with the correct path to the lidar unit ... test is hardcoded to /dev/ttyUSB0
• Connect the Sweep unit and run cargo test --nocapture to see measurements

You should see output like:

sweep_is_abi_compatible returned true
sweep_get_version returned 65538
