Control RPLIDAR A2M12 with MIT App Inventor using ESP32, Arduino or Raspberry Pi Board

Job ID: 39155182

Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR

I have the Slamtec RPLIDAR A2M12 360 Degree 2D Lidar Sensor (see details at https://www.slamtec.com/en/Lidar/a2) which allows creating 2D environment maps. Here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EORDFh-jqsQ) you can see how it collects data as it is moved forward. I need to connect this sensor to Arduino or Raspberry PI, or ESP32 and be able to control it from a mobile phone wirelessly. I need to use MIT App Inventor https://appinventor.mit.edu/ (see quick sample video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQcJ4uHdQEA) to create a simple mobile app that connects to the sensor, allows to start/stop scanning, save scan data on the device and delete. Here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EK9iLdVcAnpOGKhh1M-2AEnX3QEMu7usRmeiH5PTeAk/edit?usp=sharing ) you can see my progress with Arduino Mega 2560 board.

This project will be suitable for someone who is more into learning new stuff rather than looking for monetary gains.

The end goal of this project is a map of the environment that is saved to the mobile device after walking around a building for example. I can release any payment only when this end goal is achieved and is fully working on my end. I cannot release any milestone intermediate payments etc. because if you don’t succeed or disappear, then I don’t have anything that works.

You don’t necessarily need to buy the sensor, we can work together using video calls or TeamViewer.
