Data offered docs-verified: 2D point cloud: angle, distance and quality per point from a single 360-degree scan · device info and health (temperature, error codes) · point cloud summary (min/max distance, valid count) · live streaming of scan data · serial port auto-detection for YDLIDAR devices
Update frequency docs-verified: 360-degree sweeps at 5–12 Hz
Formats llm-inferred: MCP stdio
Access llm-inferred: Free and open source under the MIT licence; requires a physical YDLIDAR USB sensor ($30–80); local install with Python 3.12+ and uv

Use cases llm-inferred: Bench-scale point-cloud capture of a flume or physical model test rig · Prototype obstacle or clearance sensing for an instrumented monitoring robot on a test bed · Quick 2D distance survey of a lab or enclosed space to check clearances
Audience llm-inferred: civils engineers building bench-scale test rigs · hydrologists with physical model or flume setups · GIS analysts processing 2D scan data · robotics and sensor prototyping engineers

Constraints llm-inferred: 2D sensor only: single scan plane, no 3D point cloud · Requires physical YDLIDAR hardware; no simulation or file replay is described · Quick-install example uses Windows paths and COM ports; other platform setup is not detailed · USB 3.0 recommended for G4/S2 high-rate modes · Web console requires v0.4+ and its feature set is version-dependent · Local install only; no hosted or remote service is described
