Introduction

YDLIDAR X3 is a 360-degree two-dimensional rangefinder (from now on referred to as X3). Based on the principle of triangulation, it is equipped with related optics, electricity, and algorithm design to achieve high-frequency and high-accuracy distance measurements. The mechanical structure rotates 360 degrees to continuously output the angle information and the point cloud data of the scanning environment while ranging.

Features

• 360 degrees omnidirectional scanning ranging distance measurement
• Small distance error, stable performance, and high accuracy
• Wide-ranging distance
• Strong resistance to ambient light interference
• Low power consumption, small size, and long service life
• Laser power meets Class I laser safety standards

Detailed Descriptions

Development Kit

The X3 development kit has the following components:

​
​

Note:

USB Adapter board has two USB TYPE C interfaces: USB_DATA, and USB_PWR.

USB_DATA: Data powered interface. In most cases, this interface can be used to meet power and communication requirements.

USB_PWR: Auxiliary power supply interface. The USB interface of some development platforms has weak current drive capability. At this time, the auxiliary power supply can be used.

Device Connection

When evaluating and developing X3 under Windows, X3 and PC needed to be connected. The specific process is as follows:

​

Connect the adapter board with X3 first, then connect the USB cable to the USB port of the adapter board and the PC. Note that the Type-C interface of the USB cable is connected to the USB_DATA of the USB adapter board, and the X3 enters the idle mode after being powered on. The motor does not rotate.

The drive current of the USB interface of some development platforms or PCs is not sufficient. X3 needs to be connected to the auxiliary power supply of +5V, otherwise, the lidar will be abnormal.

Performance Parameter

​

Note 1: It is factory FQC standard value, 80% reflectivity material object.

Note 2: The relative error value indicates the accuracy of the Lidar measurement. Relative error (mean value) = (average measured distance-actual distance)/actual distance *100%, sample size: 100pcs.

Note 3: Lidar is a precision device, please avoid using Lidar under high or low temperatures or strong vibration situations, the relative error parameter index will be relatively larger, and it may exceed the typical value.
