im doing some more testing now, I think there might be somethign different with the serial ports between the 2 libraries thats causing some issues.

the mavlink serial output pin is different, its pin 8 with the new board library.
so you mean that the reciever pin (Rx) on the flight controller should be connected to the pin 8 of the RP2040?
yes, serial ports default to different pins with that library.
Awesome! It works! Now its just a matter of a few days till my parts for a new chassis arrive, and i will be able to build it, mount the lidar on it and make it avoid obstacles! (hopefully) Thank you so much for help and sorry for all misuenderstandings!

it should be much more stable now, you shouldnt see the red line jumping around and it should be using a fraction of the bandwidth.
I will update it again at some point with it mapping 0-359 to 72 rather than 0-89, it should make it a little more accurate. another idea is to try and set it up as 5x 72 lidar segments but im not sure how it would handle that.

awesome! i have a quick question though, is there any way to change the radius of the proximity viewer (like zoom in or zoom out on the radar)? I see that the radius and the MAV size is wrote on top. Is there any way to change the MAV size too?
Not that I have found.
they are down to £10 now
