LiDAR for 3D mapping with the Pixhawk 2.1 and Here+ RTK GPS

Posted by Benjamin Neff on August 17, 2017 at 2:46pm

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone on here has ever worked with or knows much about the VLP-16 with the Pixhawk 2.1 and Here+ RTK GPS. I'm currently working on a project and have built a quad copter using the PIxhawk and Here and now I'm wanting to attach a LiDAR sensor on it for 3D mapping. I cannot afford a LiDAR complete solution and was wanting to know if they will work together as is or what other parts I may need or alternative options for a LiDAR sensor.

    Hi
    This is the page in ardupilot.org about LIDAR
    http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-rangefinder-landingpage.html
    It is used for object avoidance but maybe somebody else can tell you if you can use it for 3D Mapping
