Lidar, revisited...

Pulsed Light has been selling a fairly low-cost, long range lidar. I just got around to doing something with the one in the mail today. I also got a 6-wire slip ring... uhh huh... that's right.

What did you think was going to happen? I mean, it's just begging to spin...

So, I picked 100XL timing belt, since it's stock in 1/4" width.

And the Lidar mount was quite possibly the most cumbersome thing to design since airplane parts in a past life.

I think it should work just fine... I'll start 3D printing before Monday, likely.
