OT-500 / LDROBOT LD06
USB connectivity constraints, UART drivers, and hardware setup rules specific to the OT-500 bundle.
OT-500 Bundle Overview
The OT-500 is a compact interactive surface bundle designed for short-range applications (e.g., tables or display screens up to 5 meters tracking range). It incorporates the LDROBOT LD06 sensor.
Connectivity & Range Constraints
Unlike other professional LiDAR units that communicate over network Ethernet protocols, the OT-500 utilizes a USB connection.
- USB Cable Limits: USB connections are sensitive to cable length. Standard USB extension cables may experience signal drops.
- Maximum Distance: You can achieve a connection distance of 3 to 5 meters between the sensor and the host computer by using high-end, active USB extension cables.
UART Controller Board
The LDROBOT LD06 sensor is mounted to a small UART interface board, which facilitates communication and supplies operating power directly from the PC's USB port.
- Serial Number Identification: The UART controller board has a unique hardware serial number. Once connected via USB, this serial number is automatically recognized by the OptiTUIO™ configuration menu.
- Driver Requirements: If the PC does not recognize the device when plugged in, you must install the proper driver:
- Driver Download: CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers (or the specific driver provided with your installation resources).
- Sensor Activation: In the Devices configuration window, select your device, set the connection type to
Serial, and choose the recognized serial port/com number from the dropdown menu to initialize the scanner.
Support Restriction
Technical support for the OT-500 bundle and LDROBOT LD06 integrations is provided exclusively for hardware bought directly from Interactive Asia Co. Ltd.
