doing this still gives errors with sync bytes mimsmatched and descriptor mismatch

from pyrplidar.

its an a3, it runs on 256000. I was able to fix this by changing to express scan mode , normal scan mode gives me the mismatched bytes and descriptor mismatch too. bbut express scan is giving me the correct numbers.

For anyone running an A3 , doing this works and lets you run force scan and express scan.

Express mode 0 is the normal scan. In my experience mode 3 gives the best result overall. I prettied up the original post for future readers.

Thanks, really informative. I am using right now Express mode 4 which I assume is stability mode on the A3 which fits my needs. As a side, if you know how to print or call out specific values such as angle, and distance you could write them for future people reading this post.

I believe using print(scan.angle) would print only the angle.

Small note here , awesome editing on the first post.

Do you know the units at which the distance is reported? I cannot find what type of unit is and I am assuming it is Cm . Thanks in advance.

from pyrplidar.

Distance is in mm (millimetres). Angle is in regular degrees.

Hey, a small question. have you bbeen able to verify which mode is which? Lately express_mode (4) seems to have a low precision.

Please refer to https://imgur.com/ZFiudfI. The first is 0 last is 4. In my experience 3 works best, then 2, then the rest.

Yes, it has the better readings indoors. But I am trying to use the lidar outdoors during daytime. Following that 4 should be fine for my needs , I will just continue testing. Thank you.
