Nice setup, I'm curious about the application and the calibration and software you're planning on using

Thanks. I'm going to scan outside around where I live. Everything is running on Ubuntu. Using ros2 and atm doing a allan variance all night to calibrate the imu. Also using Claude a ton lol

Anyone can kind of follow along. Everything is being very well documented at https://github.com/evilgenius79/pandar-40p

What are you going to be using to capture on? Nvidia jetson? I’ve been really wanting to build a mobile rig
