I'm having the same issue. I'm currently trying to rotate the rplidar with a servo to create a 3D point cloud and want to grab data from a scan for every angle of the servo's rotation. After I call next(scans) more than 106-108 times, I receive either this error or the "Check bit not equal to 1" error.

I experience the same issue. @hhelmric did you discover any viable solution?

[hhelmric]

Not sure... this was a while ago and I honestly can't remember. We stopped experimenting with the RPLiDAR over a year ago

[m3pan]

Did anyone find a solution?

[pascalpradel]

I found out that the error occurs when there is a time.sleep() inside the loop using the scanner function. After I deleted time.sleep() everything worked fine.
