5.1. Pamaduan Software

To utilize the data from the RPLIDAR A1M8, you will need to integrate it with appropriate software. Slamtec provides an SDK that supports various operating systems, including macOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi. While dedicated tools like RoboStudio are available for Windows, the SDK allows for custom development on other platforms.

5.2. Configuring Scan Rate

The scan rate of the RPLIDAR A1M8 can be configured from 2 Hz to 10 Hz. This adjustment is typically made by alternating the motor PWM signal through software commands. A higher scan rate provides more frequent data updates, which can be beneficial for dynamic environments.
