How do I get a mid shelf lidar? Something between a cheap mcu shit with range of 1 meter and military grade laser weapon that maps objects half a mile away. I just can't seem to find anything inbetween. Detection at 30-50 meters is enough for me. Would it be hard if I wanted to make one myself from an infrared lamp and sensor with some tweaking, lenses and arduino magic?
>>2964736There are a billion companies offering mid range lidars as you said but they are usually 2D rotating lidars, you can probably just use them anyway and discard the points you don't need
