Hey! This is the Kai who made the plugin; so cool to see that it was useful to someone else. Big fan of your content - keep up the good work! Also, just checked in on the repo and added a link to this video, and I was reminded that I have releases with downloadable versions of this that should, ideally, prevent the need to build in some cases. Of course, they're poorly labeled, and they were built on whatever machines I had available at the time, so it's very YMMV.
@@luquipe4938 Hi there! Unfortunately, it's hard to give advice without more details, and it can be tricky even then, but you can feel free to email me or leave an issue on the repo with a detailed report on things like what platform you're on, what tooling you're using, and what is preventing compilation.
Hi, I'm deciding between the RPLidar S2E and the RPLidar A3 for an interactive project with TouchDesigner. Which model would you recommend for better performance? Also, is there another model you would suggest that might be superior to these two for real-time interaction and visualization?
S2 between the two options you listed - i have not been able to get the A-series to work with the same cplusplus code. the A series is also rated more for indoors and might get noise with exterior lights, if that is a concern. For choice, I like the new s3 a bit more than the s2 and works with the same pipeline. data is a bit cleaner and the refresh rate is a bit higher
Hey, thanks for the great video! I'm thinking about buying the recently released Slamtec RPLidar C1 for a project I'm working on, do you think it would be compatible with this pluging ? Thanks
unfortunately i cannot say for sure. their s2 model is the higher end version I use in installations and (should) work with the same plugin, but for example their A1 model did not work for me
Great video! Thank you so much! I work from a Mac and see no alternative to Lidar sensors to be able to make interactive visuals. (by the way, if you know of any alternatives to Lidar sensors for Mac, I'd love to hear about them haha!) The GitHub seems to have a Mac version, but do you think it would work with the 2nd generation sensor?
Buenos días o tardes, muchas gracias por este tutorial, pero me podrías explicar como hiciste la base qué pones en el minuto 42,53 esa parte como hacer ese para que salga con las 2 entradas a un lado y una al otro y lo lea el sensor. O como lo puedo hacer gracias.
Благодарю за ваш труд! где я могу взять текстуру указанную в уроке? вы говорите в более ранних уроках = но у вас их много - что хорошо можете указать более точно?
you can stop the lidar by unplugging it (this is the only way to stop power supply to the device), but of course you can simple ignore the data from inside TouchDesigner if you dont want to manually unplug
yah the dll should be all you need for it work on another machine (assuming the new machine has the same driver / os installed, i cannot speak to machines with significantly different configurations, one .dll works for all of my PCs) can also check out the releases on the github page, there are some .dll files that might work out of the box. if not, you will need to build on your machine to generate a good .dll file github.com/thepelkus-too/SlamtecLidarTDCPPCHOP/releases/tag/0.2
there are some limitations based on your PC as to how many com ports you have open at a time. if your ports are not closing after you unplug the device, try manually closing the ports via device manager (you can google for instructions) and / or restarting the computer

thank you so much for creating the original plugin! i used it on a couple installations recently, it works wonderfully!
Hi! thanks for your code, i'm trying to use it right now, but there is no way to make it compile. Any advices?

this is super helpful, I am ordering one ASAP!
love to hear it! happy to help :)
just received the lidar and go it working with your tut... thanks bro! looking forward to test on some comps...
love it! good luck
thanks thanks thanks for this one! Will try it very soon :)
my pleasure!! hope it is helpful
Thank you very much, really helpful!
just a note, you need Visual Studio not VS Code which is not a full C++ IDE
very good clarification, thank you!
thank you!
my pleasure!

Unfortunately I have no idea about Mac compatibility, I would recommend just following the github instructions to build on your machine
@@water__shed okay! thanks for your reply

thank you as touchdesigner user. i have some question. how do i stop lidar? any signal send in touchdesigner or dll file?
you can stop the lidar by unplugging it (this is the only way to stop power supply to the device), but of course you can simple ignore the data from inside TouchDesigner if you dont want to manually unplug
the geo SOP doesnt seem to exist anymore. The closest seems to be the point SOP but it doesnt have the same options. What am I missing?
geo is a COMP
I am clueless on cplusplus , if i make the build on a pc will it work on another pc if i just take the dll file? If not why is that?
yah the dll should be all you need for it work on another machine (assuming the new machine has the same driver / os installed, i cannot speak to machines with significantly different configurations, one .dll works for all of my PCs)

@@water__shed NICE ! Thank you! I will get my hands on one in about 10 hrs, i'm so excited to test it out.
NICE! thank you.
@@water__shed Do you know what is the deal with COM's? After COM10 no port seems to work to connect to the LiDAR.
there are some limitations based on your PC as to how many com ports you have open at a time. if your ports are not closing after you unplug the device, try manually closing the ports via device manager (you can google for instructions) and / or restarting the computer
how can i add unity studio simulation to it
one thing i didnt understand how did fluid simulation came up
just my choice of application for the technique, you could obviously use the lidar with any visual system to create interactions
@@water__shed can create a research doc in their website, I’m pretty sure there will be many who needs your help.
