Altimeters

Lidar

The integration between Veronte Autopilot 1x and a lidar is performed using a variety of interfaces depending on the lidar device. The most common interfaces are I2C or analog although serial or CAN bus can also be used if the lidar is compatible.

Lidar Garmin Lite v3

Lidar Garmin Lite v3 sensor integrates with Autopilot 1x via I2C connection.

**Lidar Garmin Lite v3 - Autopilot 1x wiring diagram**

Important

To ensure correct operation of the device, it is recommended to use an external power supply and not to connect it to the 3.3-5 V lines of Autopilot 1x.

Please note that it shares signal ground with Autopilot 1x.

Autopilot 1x Harness			Lidar Garmin Lite v3 Connector
PIN	Signal	Color Code	PIN	Signal	Color Code
31	I2C_CLK	White	4	I2C SCL	Green
32	I2C_DATA	Brown	5	I2C SDA	Blue
35	GND	Gray	6	Ground (-)	Black

Warning

Remember!! In Autopilot 1x, all GND pins are common. Note that pin 54 is not a common GND pin.

Once the lidar is connected, the user must proceed to its software integration with Veronte Autopilot 1x by referring to the Lidar Garmin Lite v3 - Integration examples section of the 1x PDI Builder user manual.
