   The Revo LDS and similar LIDARs are relatively cheap. The cartographer_turtlebot repo also has a configuration for mapping in 2D and 3D with depth cameras (e.g. Kinect).

   I suggest installing ROS. Once you have it installed, you can follow the documentation in the cartographer_ros repo to get some demos running.
