requirements. With the 10Hz scanning frequency, the sampling rate is 16kHz and

the angular resolution is 0.225°.

Due to the improvements in SLAMTEC hardware operating performance and

related algorithm, RPLIDAR A3M1 works well in all kinds of indoor environment

and outdoor environment with direct sunlight. Meanwhile, before leaving the

factory, every RPLIDAR A3M1 has passed the strict testing to ensure the laser

output power meet the eye-safety standard of IEC-60825 Class 1.

System connection

The RPLIDAR A3M1 consists of a range scanner core and the mechanical powering

part which makes the core rotate at a high speed. When it functions normally, the

scanner will rotate and scan clockwise. And users can get the range scan data via

the communication interface of the RPLIDAR and control the start, stop and

rotating speed of the rotate motor via PWM.

Figure 1-1 RPLIDAR System Composition

The RPLIDAR A3M1 comes with a rotation speed detection and adaptive system.

The system will adjust the angular resolution automatically according to the actual

rotating speed. And there is no need to provide complicated power system for

RPLIDAR. In this way, the simple power supply schema saves the BOM cost. If the

actual speed of the RPLIDAR is required, the host system can get the related data

via communication interface.
