Object avoidance not working ardrover

Hi please help…

Am using a Lightware sf45-b Lidar, on latest 4.2.3 build.

I cannot get bendy ruler working at all. If I enable avoid = 3 , the vehicle stops fine.

But if i disable that, and only enable the OA BR - none of the parameters have any influence… the vehicle hits the object.

I have attached bin file for reference… I have been stuck on this issue for months appreciate any help.

thanks

@rmackay9 , any suggestions here?

I have swapped back to my RPlidar A2, and that seems to work, albeit - not good in bright sunlight. So ideally i need to get the Lightware sf45b working…

@Marsjt your OA DB parameters are set wrong.
OA_DB_SIZE = 0 means the database is disbaled so BendyRuler has no obstacles to process
OA_DB_EXPIRE = 0 means obstacles never leave the DB which is terrible for most use cases
OA_DB_QUEUE_SIZE = 1 is again too low for a sensor like SF45B which is sending 100’s of obstacle info to the DB

I think it should work if you revert to original parameters for your DB and bendyruler
