My team has been trying to use LiDAR for the past two years, without any success. We have been thinking about switching to avalanche lidar this year, and I am trying to get it to work, but frankly, I have a lot of questions.
Do you have to download a new library to use it? What is the import? I am trying to find an example but I can’t. Any help would be appreciated.
It looks like they provide a source .jar, so you can extract that (a .jar is just a .zip) and probably just drop the .java files into your project. That will also tell you what the package is.
Note that since this sensor uses I2C, you will want to connect it to the MXP port, as the other port (“onboard”) is known to have issues.
Very cool, looks like something awesome to investigate.
Be sure to detect how it interacts with the polycarb and aluminum surfaces of the field perimeter. That’s traditionally been the Achilles heel of lidar systems in FRC.
