const lidar = new RPLidar();
lidar.on('data', console.log);
lidar.init().then(() => {
return lidar.getHealth();
}).then(health => {
console.log('health: ', health);

console.log('health: ', health);
let info = await lidar.getInfo();
console.log('info: ', info);
await lidar.scan();
console.log('started scanning');
});
```
