• 40% sampling speed improvement by avoiding time check on every byte in waitPoint(...)
• Migrated to SoftSerial from HardwareSerial
• Tested on Arduino Leonardo and Pro Micro with RPLidar 360

Any updates on this request? I'm sure your customers would appreciate the significant performance improvement. If it helps I can separate the SoftSerial changes from the 3-line performance improvement change. Please let me know. Thanks.

Almost 1 year and still no answer on this. I've called your company's support number and emailed the support address. I can officially say I won't be buying any future products made by your company considering the level of support your drivers clearly receive.

Seems to work fine on ESP32. It's so disappointing that slamtec doesn't support this anymore...

This is important. I'm going to use this instead of the original driver.

You are likely to get better support from me than SlamTech anyway lol

Well, I'm actually totally not getting a response on my lidar.waitPoint() on either of them. The motor control works, but the lidar isn't giving me any data on either hardware or software serial. Any suggestions?
