Safety and Scope

RPLIDAR A1 system use a low power (<5mW) infrared laser as its light source, and

drives it using modulated pulse. The laser emits in a very short time frame which

can make sure its safety to human and pet and reach Class I laser safety standard.

The modulated laser can effectively prevent ambient light and sunlight during

ranging scanning process. This make RPLIDAR A1 work excellent in all kinds of

indoor environment and outdoor environment without sunlight.

Data Output

When RPLIDAR A1 is working, sampling data will output to communication

interface. Each sample point contains below information. RPLIDAR A1 outputs
