MakerFocus Lidar Range Finder Sensor Module Single-Point Micro Ranging Module Compatible with Pixhawk, Arduino with UART Communication Interface

today in the workshop will be working with lidar we'll take a look at to light our devices the TF mini which is an inexpensive lidar unit that you can use for collision avoidance and the RP lidar a lighter device capable of doing a full 360 degree sweep there's plenty to scan today so welcome to the workshop [Music] hello and welcome to the workshop today we're going to be working with a really cutting-edge piece of technology and before we get started I want to tell you a little background story behind this now about two months ago in response to one of my other videos I got a comment from one of you asking if I could do a video about using lidar and I responded to the comment and said I would love to work with lidar because I think it's a really interesting technology the only problem is the commonly available lidar devices and sensors were just too expensive to be using here in the w
