Every time I open the serial of my rplidar here without the ROS node it does the same, it stops spinning.
I guess there the serial adapter somehow controls the reset line using the hardware signals RTS/CTS. You should maybe check to not interfere with them...

And maybe you opened the wrong serial I guess Arduino and RPLidar register to the same kind of device names

/dev/ttyACM<x> maybe your Arduino Software opened the wrong one.

/dev/ttyACM<x> maybe (maybe your Arduino Software opened the wrong one.one of the RPLidar)

Replug both and check with dmesg which one is Arduino and which one is RPLidar

/dev/ttyACM<x> /dev/ttyACM0 (maybe your Arduino Software opened the one of the RPLidar)

You should maybe check to not interfere with them...them, maybe the reset line of the LIDAR is pulled to reset or not connected or has a lose contact...

If you use them seperately (e.g. USB serial interfaces):

names /dev/ttyACM0 (maybe your Arduino Software opened the one of the RPLidar)
