@ubuntu.maniax: I’m currently building a DIY 3D LiDAR and radar scanner. Big thanks to @northworkslab and @openelab_io for the support and inspiration. You guys rock!! The setup uses an STL-27L LiDAR mounted vertically together with an RD-03D 24 GHz radar. Both rotate on a DYNAMIXEL XL430, so I can combine the sensor data with the exact rotation angle. One of the biggest challenges is timing. Every LiDAR point and radar detection needs to match the position of the scanner at that exact moment. Otherwise the whole map starts to shift or distort. An ESP32-S3 handles the sensors and rotation control, while the software combines the data into a live 3D view. LiDAR gives me the structure of the room, radar adds information about moving targets, and the servo tells me where the sensors were pointing when the measurement happened. Still a lot to improve, but that’s the interesting part. Most of this project is testing, finding problems, changing things and testing again. The end goal is a compact system that combines LiDAR, radar and position data into one synchronized view of its surroundings.
