yahboom Silan Lidar Sensor (A1 UP VER)

SKU CH-PCVK-B0D5G

A 360-degree laser scanner for ROS robots measuring at 8000 to 32000 times per second with a 10 to 20 Hz scan rate and Class 1 eye-safe infrared laser

  • 360-degree environment scanning with Class 1 eye-safe laser
  • Measurement rates from 8000 to 32000 times per second
  • Scanning frequency adjustable between 10 and 20 Hz
  • Brushless motor design for quiet, low-friction operation
  • Suited for robot navigation, AGV obstacle avoidance and parking detection

SLAM Lidar for ROS Robots

The yahboom Silan Lidar Sensor (A1 UP VER) is a 360-degree laser scanner designed for SLAM navigation and obstacle avoidance. It suits developers building service robots, AGV vehicles or research platforms that need indoor or outdoor ranging data. The unit provides ROS robot information and professional technical support for integration.

Installation and Common Issues

The sensor uses a self-designed brushless motor that removes belt-drive friction for smooth, quiet rotation. Mechanical mounting is straightforward, but software setup requires configuring the correct measurement frequency between 8000 and 32000 times per second and scanning frequency from 10 to 20 Hz. Incorrect frequency selection is the typical cause of noisy or incomplete scans.

Range Coverage and Limits

The Class 1 infrared laser delivers 360-degree omni-directional scanning to build contour maps of the surrounding environment. It comfortably handles indoor navigation and AGV obstacle detection at the stated frequencies. The sensor runs out of headroom when an application demands measurement rates beyond 32000 samples per second or scan rates above 20 Hz.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the A1 UP VER lidar is scanning correctly after installation?

Verify the sensor produces a continuous 360-degree contour map in ROS with measurement rates between 8000 and 32000 times per second and scanning frequencies from 10 to 20 Hz.

What comes in the box with the Silan lidar and what must I source separately?

The package includes the RPLIDAR A1 UP VER unit with integrated brushless motor and Class 1 infrared laser; a ROS-compatible host computer, mounting hardware and power supply are not included.

Which RPLIDAR version should I choose for indoor SLAM navigation?

Select the A1 UP VER for indoor use; it offers triangular ranging with measurement frequencies of 8000 to 32000 times per second and scanning frequencies of 10 to 20 Hz.
