Interesting post.

I wonder if the LIDAR drifts over time.

You might want to set it up and let it run a while and do some analysis of the position stability.

Ralph,

A neat solution. I hadn't thought of using the microView as a controller for a project before, just as a display, but it looks good. I might have to rethink, although they are quite expensive.

I have used the VL53LOX and found it a good sensor, although you do get that variation in distance most of the time. Sometimes it would vary 10 mm. I was never entirely sure why.

Hi Ralph,

Great idea for this application and nice write-up! I am a bit surprised it is that far off, but look forward to seeing how well the averaging and offset correction works.
