Jimmy Oliver replied to iSkyMaster's discussion LiDAR for Pixhawk "or" for dummies? in the group PIXHAWK"Well LIDAR does move at the speed of light and with reflection 1/2 the speed of light.

Jimmy Oliver replied to iSkyMaster's discussion LiDAR for Pixhawk "or" for dummies? in the group PIXHAWK"Makes sense. Above those speeds reaction time cannot be trusted.

I know that selling here is probably frowned upon but I'm not sure eBay folks are up on this bird (since I have seen none for sale there) so I thought I would let this community have a crack at it first due to advanced knowledge of these systems. Message me with offer. This is running on QGroundControl and X8R. No radio. Set up file for Taranis can be emailed. Never flown but setup and working. May need fine tuning for hover and such. Thanks.…

I'm making these very cheap.
Designing more work related, in this case also fun, uses for drones. 3D printed "attach and go" drop system. Working on version for Phantom 4 next.

Walabot is a 3D imaging sensor that lets you uncover things hidden in the world around you. This is very cheap and seems that there is a wide range of applications for working related drones. Just wanted your thoughts.
