Introduction

I bought a cheap lidar from AliExpress, no guarantees, no datasheets. This page is about understanding it and reverse engineering the protocol

Hardware

Protocol

Serial bit rate is 23400 bps

From the Aliexpress page:

Baud: 230400; Packet_length=60Bytes (in every ~4ms period) B0= 0x55 B1=0xAA B2=0x23 B3=0x10 B4+B5=current resolution LSB+MSB B6+B7= Start Angle of this packet LSB+MSB 16x: B8:B9= Distance LSB+MSB B10= Quality (1 byte only) . . . B56+B57= Final Angle of this packet (LSB+MSB) B58+B59= CRC

The angle is encoded in steps of 1/64 degree, with a 640 offset.
