Now Open Source! HM-LD1 dToF Lidar Officially Supports ROS1 & ROS2

:rocket: Now Open Source! HM-LD1 3D dToF Lidar Officially Supports ROS1 & ROS2

Robot developers, this one’s for you — we’ve released the official ROS1 Noetic + ROS2 Humble/Lyrical dual driver for the HM-LD1 depth camera. The open-source repository is now live:

:backhand_index_pointing_right: myrobotproject/HM-LD1-ROS1-ROS2-driver: ROS1 Noetic & ROS2 Humble/Lyrical driver for HM-LD1 dToF Lidar depth sensor module. Serial / UDP / UVC transports, depth + point cloud , auto-reconnect.

Why choose HM-LD1?

:white_check_mark: Outstanding outdoor performance under strong light
Still reaches a stable 8 meters even under 80 klux sunlight — something many dToF sensors struggle with.

:white_check_mark: Wide ranging distance
Indoor: 0.2 – 25 m
Outdoor (strong light): up to 8 m

:white_check_mark: Flexible interfaces
Supports UVC / UDP / UART, making it easy to connect with different controllers.

:white_check_mark: Excellent platform compatibility
Verified on Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano, and supports Windows / Linux / ARM.

Robot developers can now quickly integrate depth images, point clouds, and diagnostics via ROS, significantly lowering the development barrier.

Feel free to star, fork, or open issues — we’ll keep maintaining and improving it!
