🔍 EAI YDLIDAR X2L 360° 2D Laser Range Sensor Kit with 7Hz Scan Rate and 8m Distance Ladar Scanner Module - Ideal for Intelligent Obstacle Detection, Robotics, and Maker Education Review

I like that it can be powered separately from USB. Note, however, that the USB power connector works in both directions and can be powered via USB-C.

Good, basic hardware available from Revain is always a plus. We'll see how accurate it really is, but it's usually worth the price when it's on sale for less than $100.

Excellent product works as described. There is good documentation, but it can be improved a lot. There really isn't a clear way to get mapping to work (SLAM noobs wise) and you'll find yourself doing quite a bit of research and playing around with it, which if you're like me you'll have fun .

Works great with ROS on PC or Raspberry Pi It runs off a regular USB port on a PC but on the Raspberry Pi I had to solder my own USB hub, to supply power from an external source because the Raspberry Pi's USB ports could not supply enough power to spin the motor.

It's a good little unit, good price and does the job. Unfortunately, the documentation leaves a lot to be desired. The data output format is not explained. Worse, the manufacturer's website is down. However, Robotshop.com has published the software and manuals (as is) on their site for this device.

great product works as described. There is good documentation, but it can be improved a lot. There's no really definite way to get mapping to work (SLAM noobs wise) and you'll find it takes quite a bit of research and playing around with it, which if you're like me you'll enjoy.
