I have created a simple Python3 class object that can be used as a driver for the RPLidar sensors and/or it can be used as a real-time scan viewer on any computer (Windows, Mac, Linux). The viewer uses the PyGame library and does a good job (performance wise) of displaying the point cloud data stream. The user can navigate within the viewer to zoom, pan and rotate the point cloud view using either their mouse or keyboard. Additionally, a text-based (.csv) file is created that stores all the point cloud data, along with the scan (rotation) number, and return intensity (for standard scans).
