2D Lidar Implementation

[Thasindu_Wickrama]

I’m planning to use a 2D lidar with the Pixhawk board running either PX4 or Ardupilot firmware. The target is to create a obstacle avoidance drone. Since I’m tight on the budget I cannot go for RPlidar A1 or A2 but I found a 2D lidar on aliexpress on the following link, link

I would like to know whether I’ll be able to directly plug that into the Pixhawk and use since the output comes with tx and rx needs to be plugged to the telemetry port?

thanks

it works but it doesn’t work outdoors. as soon as any sunlight hits it becomes unusable.

I’m planning to use in indoor environments. Have you used it? the same model?

[geofrancis ([𝙂𝙚𝙤])]

Yes I have the same lidar on ardupilot.
