I enjoyed making the video. Looking forward for more tutorials

@manojguha2046

Thanks for the video. I bought the RPlidar A1 recently and was able to make a map of my room successfully.

@MrMiguelamaral

Many thanks. I´m a civil engineer and was able to do the same with RPLidar A3, the results are much better with this model. Now to export to CAD file :P

Hi, nice tutorial. It realy helped me to get start with the RPLidar. 
A thing I noted when you explained the changes in the "tutorial_tif.launch". You had show a change in the line 8, but there is a change in line 13 too. You had to change the old name "mapping_default.launch" to the filename you created "mapping_tif.launch". It was in the minute 8:05, it already has the new filename. I did it here and worked very well.

Thanks for the excelent video

@nrdesign1991

This is incredible. The fact that you can get this software for free is even more awesome.

Great tutorial, I almost slept reading through the ROS wiki. Videos are so easy to understand. Looking foward to a tutorial for autonomous navigation with slam on rasperry pi.

@cesarhcq

Hi! It's important to say that if you rotate the Lidar fastly in one axis -- you can have problems for mapping, occasionally it's happens when you have a diff drive robot. Great video!

@pranav398

Thank you for such a valuable video!! We will keep learning, please dont stop posting.

@soumitradey8208

Thanks a lot i was looking for this. Excellent explanations.  
Looking forward to navigation go to goal and how to integrate same with ROS arduino motor control to move robot. God bless you. Regards

@gabip265

You are a blessing! Beautifully explained and to the point.

@tvforsbach

First of all thank you for these amazing videos which helped me a lot! I have a similar project right now: I want to install the RPLIDAR A1 on a little car and connect it with a raspberry pi 3. I want to start the scan from my laptop and visualize the map with Rviz. 



So i use this order of steps: 

 - start roscore on my laptop
 - tell pi that the laptop is the master (export ROS_MASTER_URI=) 

- define my pi as a talker and laptop as listener (rosrun rospy_tutorials talker.py) 

- start Rplidar - than i type "rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0 0 0 0 0 0 map scanmatcher_frame 10"  I did this because I was getting the warning "No transform between frames /map and scanmatcher_frame available after 20.002338 seconds of waiting. This warning only prints once." 

- start hector slam. 



When i start hector  slam, Rviz opens but the map is empty  and the terminal gives me the following info: "lookupTransform base_frame to laser timed out. Could not transform laser scan into base_frame.".  Do you know what i'm doing wrong because when i connect the Lidar directly to my laptop everything works fine as in your video. I sourced after every new shell and i also used everytime the "export ROS_MASTER_URI"-command.

Greetings

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks
