| + | **IMPORTANT NOTE:** this device is different from the one made by Robotis Inc, and while it serves a similar purpose, it does not work with the same sensors. My version pre-dates the one from Robotis by 3-4 years and only works with the old sensors salvaged from Neato Robotics robots. If you want a device that works with the 360 Laser Distance Sensor LDS-01, then get the Robotis USB2LDS. | ||
