How to remap serial port for RPLidar
Hi,
I'm currently facing this issue of creating udev rule for the RPLidar sensor. I have viewed the instructions found on this page, https://github.com/robopeak/rplidar_ros/wiki but still unsure how to go about doing it.
So far, besides scoring through numerous udev articles and tutorials, what I have done is run the createudevrule.sh script, and check that the file is reflected in the /etc/udev/rules.d folder but it did not help in any way as I still get the bind error " Error, cannot bind to the specified serial port /dev/rplidar." when I try to launch the Rplidar sensor.
Are there any step by step guide to doing this particular RPLidar remap and giving it read and write authority? Such that rplidar -> ttyUSBX (where X is a number) is displayed when I input the "ls -l /dev |grep ttyUSB" command
Thank you!

I realized I had to be the root user in order to make this happen.
