    Hi, we need to use a garmin lidar-lite v3 with a VOXL 2 and need to add that driver into the build. The driver itself is included in the modalai branch, I guess it's just not built with the rest of the firmware? How do I add it to the build?

    Thanks!

      @jonathankampia You would need to add DRIVERS_DISTANCE_SENSOR_LL40LS to boards/modalai/voxl2-slpi/default.px4board and then rebuild.

        @Eric-Katzfey Thank you! I'm assuming I just follow the build instructions here, right?

          @jonathankampia Yes, that should work except there is one command missing right before ./build-apps.sh. You need to run ./build-deps.sh before that.

            @jonathankampia Unfortunately, the hard part is creating the build Docker.
