Let us know how it goes. Looks like a good little unit. Are you hooking it up via serial or i2c?

Asim,I think this will be good especially for using with opti flow and also avoidance

Yeah Marty agree…I just ordered one. I have the Benewake TF02 LIDAR LED Rangefinder IP65 (22 m) but still sitting on my bench. On my list to monkey around with it.

keep us posted, what you learn.

will do Asim hopefully get it tested very soon

Did you get the TF-Luna working?
What settings did you use for your serial connection?

I have one but I cant get the Pixhawk to see it so far.
Still tinkering.

Works for me. I’ll try and dig out my settings

Mike as per what Andy said setting wise ant 2cm and 80cm set as well,my one is working good,now need to do other stuff like try my opti sensors

Thanks guys, found the issue.
It turned out to be the cable they supplied.
It’s not wired for Pixhawk.

Once I fixed that it worked like a treat.
