RPLidar A2M6 processing for WPILib.py on Raspberry PI
In Pre-Season Development
Pre-season programming, testing, and documentation for FRC Team 1073's LiDAR unit. Off-loading on a Raspberry PI outside of the robot's environment, this project has the final goal of creating a part of an advanced sensor system that can eventually be integrated into the team's '22-'23 robot for the autonomous period and extended Network Tables feedback.

Needed:
- puTTY, ssh & telenet product that aids in off-loading connection.
- Repository for LiDAR-based SLAM in Python. The RP Lidar libraries are in C++, so this is needed as our robot uses primarily Java for our subsystems and Python for our sensors. Special thanks to Simon D. Levy
If this sensor is a priority for your team, please consider coding the whole system in C++ to integrate it into your robot code as a whole. That being said, this repository is primarily for those looking to work in Java/Python
