I lost the USB board that comes with the RPLidar. I am planning to use another CP2102 USB board that I have laying around.
The CP2102 board I have has the following pins TX RX GND 5V
I am planning to connect the rplidar in the following manner
RPLIDAR CP2102
VMOTO -> 5V
MOTOCTL -> 5V
GND -> GND
V5.0 -> 5V
TX -> RX
RX -> TX
GND -> GND
will this work? planning to use the interface slamtec provides to debug the rplidar
