Hi

Recently i wanted to make obstackle avoidance useing RP lidar. I didn’t find any A2M8 version, so I bought A2 M12 one. I follow configuration on wiki and I changed required parameters.

  • SERIAL2_PROTOCOL] = “11”
  • [SERIAL2_BAUD]= “115”
  • [PRX_TYPE]= “5”
  • [PRX_ORIENT]= “0”

It’s connected to uart 1. I have tried swapping Rx and tx. But there is completely no response. I’m mission planner, in tab proximity visualization i have no reading and there is non stop preflight check distance sensor. Also from power requirement bec supports up to 2A.
Can I make it work? Funny story, but chatGPT suggested connecting rplidar through USB :smile:

Firmware;
-ardupilot v4.2.0
Hardware:
-Kakute H7 V2
-RPlidar A2m12

You need to change the source code to add support for that particular model, recompile, upload and test.

So it’s basically not suported?
