RPLidar A1 integration #6688

Closed J40yke closed 8 months ago

J40yke commented 3 years ago

No facility to include a 360 degree lidar sensor. Hardware connection is possible via UART ports. However iNav doesn't currently support setup.

Desired Behavior

To either include a simple graphical representation on an OSD tab with distance figures displayed on screen (Birdseye view, with a display similar to automobile parking sensors), and/or (but less importantly) maybe some obstacle avoidance for use in Rover modes.

Suggested Solution

Release a beta version for testing. I have a rover (boat) setup ready to be used for testing.

Who does this impact? Who is this for?

Aimed for iNav Rover users, for visual navigation in daylight/GPS denied environments. For example, boats in tunnels, or cars/tanks in confined spaces.

I have been looking at putting on RPLidar A1 on my Rover for sometime, but having to move to Ardurover put me off.

Will there likely be any moves towards implementation of the RPlidar for the use on Rovers? Even just from a Telemetry viewing perspective? Be great to see a "map" of the scanned data similar to ardurover. On 9 Jan 2022 10:07 am, "stale[bot]" @.***> wrote: This issue / pull request has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had any activity in 60 days.

There is just not enough storage and calculation power to handle the data of a 360° scanning lidar, let alone to project any kind of augmented reality in our OSD feed. This would need a companion computer that does all the work and then controls inav. Has nothing to do with the firmware itself.

Fair enough. I only asked because the same F405_Std I'm currently using the RPLIDAR on with AP firmware, can also run inav. The hardware is capable as it's doing it already, but just wondered if inav was capable.
