    Hello ModalAI Team,

    I am currently planning to work with the Starling 2 Max Outdoor Drone and looking into integrating a Livox Mid 360 LiDAR for mapping purposes. I would like to clarify the following:

    1. Does the VOXL 2 on the Starling 2 Max support the mounting and operation of the Livox Mid 360 LiDAR?
    2. If not natively supported, is there a recommended interface or adapter to establish compatibility?
    3. Is there a USB extension or specific cable available to connect the Livox Mid 360 to the VOXL 2, considering the power and data transmission requirements?

    I appreciate any guidance or documentation you can provide on this integration.

    Thank you!

      @Thasindu-Wickrama We have no experience with this sensor.

        Starling 2 Max is built using VOXL 2, which is an open development platform. You can find details on VOXL 2 I/O here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-connectors/

          @Eric-Katzfey have you tried any other lidar (2D or 3D one) with the voxl board?

              @Thasindu-Wickrama No, we use TOF for depth in indoor environments. In outdoor environments we have used stereo cameras. And we have used single point lidar for distance (height) sensing. How did you want to integrate a LiDAR? Would it be a PX4 driver?

                @Eric-Katzfey we are planning to integrate it with ros. Physical connection through the extension board ethernet port.

                  @Thasindu-Wickrama Hey man, I am planning to do the same on a VOXL2 powered custom build drone.
                  Did you have any success?
