## Easy mapping using rviz

Step1: Clone rplidar

:::info
git clone https://github.com/Slamtec/rplidar_ros.git
:::
:warning: clone rplidar ros into src
Step2: compile
:::info
catkin_make
:::
:warning: 別忘記source ~/workspace/install/setup.bash
Step3: Connect lidar
:::info
ls /dev/ttyUSB*
sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0
:::
Step4: To workspace and roslaunch
Launch
:::info
roslaunch rplidar_ros test_rplidar.launch

 ps. If it is first time to use rpilidar for mapping, it may highly possible that user would meet a lot of error of without download something. Just only need to find sudo-apt-get install .....
