Hello Tork-A,
I am attempting to use this project with a Create 2, and RPLidar A1. When i attempt to launch the project inside the Create 2, I receive and error about not being able to bind to ports. I suspect it has something to do with the device ID (Your project is Create 1 / RPLidar A2, mine is Create 2 / RPLidar A1). I have tried chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0 (also ttyUSB1). I am using the Ubiquity Robots image which is Xenial 16.04. The cable is plugged into the Create 2, and the RPLidar A1 is spinning.

Below is the output from PuTTY:
