DG commented on LightWare - Laser Developer's blog post The SF11/C laser altimeter - awesome performance for $249
"I'm interested in installing this on on of my copters, but haven't followed it for quite some time. What is required to make it work with PIxhawk, and I wonder if AC 3.4 supports Lidar for terrain following and RTL.
Thanks."

"Leonard,
