Great LIDAR development kit with simple but reliable functionality

I bought this to study and experiment with 3D images. Using the Slamtec SDK and basic OpenGL, I was able to create a real-time room measurement and display system on my Mac (macOS). The device is very quiet and comes with pins so you can place it on a table or bench, or attach it to a robot. Unfortunately Slamtec's (Robostudio) tools are only for Windows, but the SDK works for macOS, Linux and RPi. I tested on macOS. You can search Github for "OpenGL lidar display" for more information. BONUS: The kit also includes a set of cables,

Pros

Pretty impressive

Cons

boring packaging
