LIDAR capture has been a mainstay of self driving vehicles for years now. The technology has really benefited from the DIY approach of the robotics industry. As a result fairly affordable LIDAR sensors are readily available, but not a lot of prosumer type cameras. We have gathered some articles, videos and projects to help get the LIDAR DIY enthusiast started.

DIY Projects

One of the first projects that got us interested in LiDAR. The Scanse Sweep project shipped hardware for a bit, but is no longer a supported project.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXCWHgE99dA&ab_channel=SparkFunElectronics
