STOP Request

RPLIDAR will exit the current scanning state once it receives the Stop (0x25) Request

sent by a host system. The laser diode and the measurement system will be disabled

and the Idle state will be entered. This request will be ignored when RPLIDAR is in

the Idle or Protection Stop state.

Since RPLIDAR won’t send response packet for this request, host systems should

wait for at least 1 millisecond (ms) before sending another request.
