"@LaserDev - thanks very much. Our SF11 arrived just yesterday so I'll ping Robert to see if we can figure something out. Appreciate the help."
"@LaserDev Do you have any experience connecting an SF11 directly to a companion computer? What connection do you recommend. I would have done i2c. However, I'm using an Odroid XU4 and the i2c is horrible. It's a good board in general but the i2c…"
"Can anyone share insights on this? Should I ask in a different forum? Any help is greatly appreciated."
Hi everyone. For about a year and a half, I've been working with Iris+ drones on projects involving computer vision, and pathfinding using genetic algorithms. A couple of months ago, I decided to branch out and try a rover. I bought an Axial SX10…
"How wide is the area of detection? I didn't see that mentioned in the specs."
"I'm curious, why is the SF11/C not good for collision avoidance?"
"Since this thread has meandered a bit, I hope that no one minds if I ask a somewhat related question.
I'm connecting a LidarLite v2 to an Odroid XU4 to use for obstacle detection. This will allow us to incorporate the Lidar data into our path…"

"That's a good question. We're still working on that part. :-)"
"@Doug, thanks. I hope they have time to include it for 3.4."
"Thanks @LaserDev. My students and I write software to control our MAVs. We almost never fly manually so Guided mode support is important. Ultimately, what we want to do is incorporate two Lidar units -- one for altitude and the other facing…"
"Acroname emailed that they will have stock for the SF11/C later this week. I just placed an order."
"@LaserDev Thanks for your reply. No need for an apology as far as I'm concerned. I don't mind waiting a few weeks for a good product.
Does anyone know if Guided mode rangefinder support is still a possibility in AC 3.4? I asked elsewhere but…"

"According to PulsedLight, there won't be any more LidarLite v2. They indicated (via email) that v3 will be out in the 2nd quarter of this year.
The TeraRanger looks like a nice unit. The only thing I don't like is that it requires 10-20V power. I…"

"I contacted PulsedLight about this a couple of days ago. Their reply mentioned the Garmin acquisition and said that LidarLite v3 will appear in the 2nd quarter of this year."

Hi everyone. I'm new to Rover, coming from Copter. In APM Copter, the default use for LIDAR Lite is for altitude. The wiki mentions that APM Rover also supports LIDAR. I'm guessing that altitude isn't the use and that its for obstacle avoidance but…
