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:

$ pip install numpy

Compile and build

Makefile

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

Common command

make # Compile .so Library. make clean # Clean build files. python3 rblidar.py # Test rblidar.py

Troubleshooting

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

Usage example

    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)
