Hi @AddisonSnyder, welcome to the forum! :slight_smile:

Cool project - thanks for sharing! :smiley:
It’s always fun to see our products being used in new and exciting ways.

I imagine this would be a bit easier for people to wrap their heads around if you provided an overview of your plans and what you’ve achieved so far, and perhaps some insight into the whys and hows of your approach, but I suppose a writeup makes more sense once the system is built out enough to be collecting some real data.

The open source LiDAR looks quite interesting. I’m curious how well the setup will work underwater, especially being refracted through the enclosure wall.
