I'll second the recommendation for the Neato. I have a couple with the support boards and they work nicely with the ROS package. You can usually find the lidar on e-bay and the support boards, also.

Hi,

There is also the lidar from the Neato XV-11 robot vacuum but you have
to find a working one and add a board to drive the motor.

There is a ROS driver: http://wiki.ros.org/xv_11_laser_driver

It is not the simplest but by far the cheapest Lidar I found.

Hi All,

I am currently prototyping a home-utility robot as POC (to be
industrialized), and need a really cheap Lidar that has at least been
proven to work with ROS.

Im using ROS on top of Raspberry Pi 2.

(im currently looking at lidar lite 2 and rp-lidar, but im not so sure
as i cant see any  ROS project featuring those)


Any ideas pls?


Rgds,


Jake
