# LakiBeam SDK - Linux C/Python Hybrid data interface for Richbeam Laki-Series lidars.

## Project profile

LakiBeam SDK is a Linux-based cross-language (C/Python) lidar data receiving and processing library designed for real-time lidar data acquisition and processing.

## Characteristics

- Low-level implementation of C language in pure Linux environment

- Python dynamic library call mechanism

- UDP receives network data in real time

- Multi-threaded data processing

- Dual buffer design to improve data throughput

## Environmental dependence

- Linux
- GCC compiler
- Python 3.x

## Dependency library

- numpy

### Installing

You can install numpy using `pip`:

```sh
$ pip install numpy
```

## Compile and build

### Makefile

The project provides makefiles to simplify the compilation and build process:

### Build
First, build the .so library using `make`:

```sh
$ make
```

### Troubleshooting
· Ensure all dependencies are installed
· Check library path and permissions
· Verify network configuration for UDP communication

### Usage example

```python
from rblidar import RBLidar

def frame_callback(self, point_data_array):
    print(f"Received data, length: {len(point_data_array)}.")

lidar = RBLidar("192.168.8.1", 2368, frame_callback=frame_callback)
```
