PPS Sync with 3DM-GX5-25 #310

Open pauldeee opened 3 months ago

pauldeee commented 3 months ago

Hi there,

Recently I've been looking into syncing my lidar and IMU via a PPS signal. However, all this is relatively new to me. Let's assume I am a complete beginner with this and I have the following:

  1. 3DM-GX5-25 with a craft cable.
  2. A lidar which can output a PPS signal.

Assuming my lidar outputs a PPS pulse at somepoint during its scan (for example, at the beginning or at the end of the scan) can someone shed some light on how I might be able to use the PPS from the lidar to sync the IMU?

Thanks!
