Feeding the data into a 3rd party application #12

Closed michael1309 closed 3 years ago

michael1309 commented 3 years ago

More often, people ask how to feed the collected data from the lidar into their own application.

For this one can use different of the interprocess communication:

For example, you can use C#, Python, or C++ (e.g., with QT) to integrate the driver into your own GUI.

You can collect the data in the generic driver and send it, for example, via a local loop as a UDP data stream to the target application. Alternatively, you can use shared memory or other means of inter-process communication.

On the receiver side of this data stream, you can then build the GUI as you wish.
