Lidar interface and 2D scan

Sundar santhanam

Hi,

I wanted to interface a lidar with stm controller and see the 2 dimensional mapping in a graph may be similar to frame grabber. Does stm have any tools for the same ? like to get the graph of scanned environment by a lidar

Thanks in advance!!!

if you look for 2D-Lidar on st.com you will get to:

STSW-IMG017

2D LIDAR using multiple VL53L1X Time-of-Flight long distance ranging sensors.

This is my implementation of a 2D lidar. I'd start with this.

The code uses 1 STM32 Nucleo board and 9 VL53L1X sensors arrayed in a half circle.

Even if you don't use it like this, it will give you a solid example of what can be done.

There is also a YouTube video. Go to YouTube and you will find a video on what we did

Good luck

Thank you so much , also wanted to know that is this possible using single time of flight sensor rotating it in circular manner!
