The YDLidar X2L represents an exceptional value proposition in the realm of affordable Lidar technology, primarily tailored to cater to robotics applications. The acronym "Lidar" stands for "Light Detection and Ranging," which leverages a pulsating laser to gauge the distance to objects within its surroundings. This ingenious approach involves directing laser pulses toward surfaces and calculating the time it takes for the light to return to the sensor. This time-to-distance calculation provides precise measurements, enabling accurate spatial awareness. Typically, Lidars employ lasers operating in the invisible infrared spectrum to achieve this. The YDLidar X2L seamlessly integrates this advanced technology into a cost-effective package, offering a gateway to enhanced robotic perception and navigation. For effective Windows-based evaluation and development of the YDLidar, installation of the USB adapter board's serial port driver is a requisite step. It is imperative to note that some development platforms or PCs might possess USB interfaces with limited drive current, necessitating access to an auxiliary +5V power supply to ensure proper and aberration-free functionality.
