help rplidar A1 python

edit

Hi

Does anyone have a sample code for operating and publishing LaserScan message in python for the RPLIDAR A1 sensor?

I found the following library, but I do not know how to calculate some parameters of the message like:

float32 angle_min # start angle of the scan [rad]
float32 angle_max # end angle of the scan [rad]
float32 angle_increment # angular distance between measurements [rad]

float32 time_increment # time between measurements [seconds] - if your scanner
                          # is moving, this will be used in interpolating position
                          # of 3d points
float32 scan_time # time between scans [seconds]

According to the library example I get the following return for each iteration of the for loop:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from rplidar import RPLidar
lidar = RPLidar('/dev/ttyUSB0')

info = lidar.get_info()
print(info)

health = lidar.get_health()
print(health)

for i in lidar.iter_scans():
        print i

lidar.stop()
lidar.stop_motor()
lidar.disconnect()

Return iteration for: (intensities, angle, range)
