Much cooler than using a tape measure.
You know, I think we need a lot more Raspberry Pi LiDAR projects. Granted, I’ve never worked with a LiDAR scanner before, so I have no idea how hard it is to wire one up to a Raspberry Pi. All I know is, whenever someone does manage it, the project they make is usually really cool, and I want to see more of them. The last time I saw one was back in April, when someone made a LiDAR scanner project which I really liked the look of.
Well, there’s good news for people who want to try making one of these projects at home. Someone has uploaded the schematics and code for their project called RoomMapper.
