.. Provide a convenient interface to the Slamtec RPLidar.

Dependencies
=============

Install with PyPy: ``pip install Adafruit_CircuitPython_RPLIDAR``
This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
* `Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>`_
* `Register <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Register>`_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.

Usage Example
=============

.. code-block:: python

    import os
    from math import floor
    from adafruit_rplidar import RPLidar


    # Setup the RPLidar
    PORT_NAME = '/dev/ttyUSB0'
    lidar = RPLidar(None, PORT_NAME, timeout=3)

    # used to scale data to fit on the screen
    max_distance = 0

    def process_data(data):
        print(data)

    scan_data = [0]*360

    try:
    #    print(lidar.get_info())
        for scan in lidar.iter_scans():
            for (_, angle, distance) in scan:
                scan_data[min([359, floor(angle)])] = distance
            process_data(scan_data)

    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print('Stopping.')
    lidar.stop()
    lidar.disconnect()
