"Thanks for the interesting write up Geoffrey! I'll share it in Weekly Robotics!"
"Keep us posted!I was looking a bit on something similar. I think a lot comes down to your end goals. For a simple control ArduRover can work very well, you will be able to do coverage planing etc. with the ground control station software. If you…"
"Hi Nicolas! My schedule is very tight these days but we can definitely discuss this over e-mail. Would you mind writing to me at mat@msadowski.ch ?Cheers,Mat"
"Interesting! What kind of battery are you using on the quad? Are there any side effects of charging a 22Ah battery at 150A?"
"In my first internship I was testing various propeller - motor combinations to plot the thrust to power ratio. Good times!"
"Also @Patrick: when you copied the lab description by mistake you also copied the number of clicks, making it a bit confusing about "ROS 2" based labs (I got quite excited for a second!)"
"WOW! Great job! I strongly believe that combining ROS and ArduPilot can result in really powerful applications. Are there any plans to host those tutorials outside of ArduPilot forums? I'll be sharing the information about the labs in the next issue…"
"The scan frequency is ~7Hz therefore we can assume that LiDAR needs to rotate once to collect a single scan. This means that the rotations speed is 7RPS * 60 = 420 RPM
Also if we are collecting 3000 samples per second and the LiDAR does 7 rotations…"

"You would install it on a real car or an R/C one? If it's a proper car then I suggest you don't use this LiDAR, it's a maker quality tool not suitable for safety applications.
If my calculations are correct you should get about between 400-500…"

"Chris I tried to find any YDLIDAR python libraries but apart from the one linked by Stefan I couldn't locate any. The PyLidar3 doesn't seem to support YDLIDAR X2 just yet.
The oficial SDK for YDLIDAR seem to be this one and it's written in C++."

Hi guys! I recently had a chance to test out YDLIDAR X2, that could be a cheaper alternative to RPLIDAR. Here are some of the characteristics of this unit:ParameterValueScanning range360°Range0.1-8mRange resolution2% of distanceScan…
"It's been a while since I've been working on Object Avoidance with ArduCopter. I only worked with TeraRanger Tower (https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/fb544cab78efe05e74b368c...).
Looking at the update_sector_data function you can see that…"

"Thanks for the great insights Chris! Although the forum is not the format I would usually link to at WeeklyRobotics the discussion is so eye opening that I'll most probably make an exception."
"It's about 600$"
"Darrel it looks like you have a solid plan! Keep me posted as you go! If you run into any issues let me know and I'll try to help. My main business is consulting but I'm happy to do a 20-30 minutes free session with you!"
Hi guys! Recently I had a chance to experiment with Livox Mid-40 - a 230 m range LiDAR using rotational Risley Prisms.I thought I would share my findings with the community in case it can be considered a viable scanning solution!The first thing to…
