libsweep-rs
This is a Rust wrapper for the Sweep SDK for interacting with the Scanse Sweep LIDAR unit.
Usage
let port = String from;
let sweep = new.unwrap;
sweep.start_scanning.unwrap;
let scan = sweep.scan.unwrap;
for sample in &scan
sweep.stop_scanning.unwrap;
Instructions
This crate relies on the Sweep SDK (https://github.com/scanse/sweep-sdk) being installed.
Connect the LIDAR unit and find out which port it is using. On Raspberry Pi it is likely /dev/ttyUSB0
or similar. On Mac it is likely somthing like /dev/tty.usbserial-DM00KC6Z
.
Run the example using this syntax, passing the port as a command-line parameter.
You should see output like:
Version 1.2
ABI compatible: true
Motor speed: 5
Sample rate: 500
