SLAMTEC RPLIDAR Serial Port Adapter Board A2/A3/S1

Description

SLAMTEC RPLIDAR Serial Port Adapter Board A2/A3/S1 The SLAMTEC RPLIDAR Serial Port Adapter Board A2/A3/S1 is a dedicated interface module that connects SLAMTEC RPLIDAR A2, A3, or S1 360° LiDAR scanners to a computer via USB. This compact board integrates a Silicon Labs CP2102 USB-to-UART bridge chip, allowing the scanner’s serial data and power lines to be carried over a standard USB link. Features: Converts UART serial signals to USB for direct computer connectivity. Includes a dip switch for selectable baud rates of 115200bps or 256000bps. Compatible with RPLIDAR A2M7, A2M12, A3M1, and S1M1 models. Supplies 5VDC power to the LIDAR via USB, eliminating external power needs. Specifications: Parameter Value Interface USB 2.0 (Micro‑USB port), XH2.54‑5P LiDAR connector. Converter Chip Silicon Labs CP2102 USB-to-UART bridge. Baud Rates 115200 bps or 256000 bps (switch selectable). Supply Voltage 5 VDC. Power Input 5 VDC (for RPLIDAR motor), up to 1 A typical (see LIDAR datasheet). Communication 4‑wire UART: TX, RX, +5 V (logic), GND (on 5‑pin header). Operating System Windows, Linux, macOS (requires CP2102 VCP driver). Dimensions 50mm× 25 mm. Connection: Applications: Integration of RPLIDAR sensors in robotics for obstacle detection and avoidance. Development of SLAM systems for autonomous navigation in vehicles and drones. Environmental mapping and localization in research and prototyping projects. Educational demonstrations of laser scanning technology in STEM curricula. Testing and data acquisition in industrial automation and smart devices. Package Include: 1x SLAMTEC RPLIDAR Serial Port Adapter Board A2/A3/S1. 1x Micro‑USB to USB‑A Cable Documents: User manual
