What is the USB2LDS?

The USB2LDS is a board that makes it easy to use a Neato LDS (the LIDAR from the Neato XV-11 vaccuum-robot) with a PC. It plugs into the PC through a USB Micro cable and has ports for the LDS and its motor.

Features

  • Virtual serial COM port @ 115200 baud
  • Integrated PID to keep the motor turning at precisely the desired speed
  • Powered fro USB, and it powers the LDS and motor.
  • Secondary power input for the motor if you don't want it to be powered from USB
