I am on ArduCopter V4.0.3, using a Raspi5 and NAVIO2.
I have followed all the setup parameters listed under the LD-06 LIDAR and am a little stumped on what I should try. On the NAVIO2 I am able to check that data is reaching the UART port (albeit still in hex format). But I am getting nothing on Mission Planner, any tips where to start?

Thank you!
Hi Dylan,
Welcome to the community!
Could you share the list of parameters you have configured in Mission Planner?
Hi Merryna! I learned that the reason my LIDAR wouldn’t work was because the drivers supporting it were available in a newer Ardu version. Now that I’ve upgraded to V4.5.7 it is now functional!
But my GPS now shows “No GPS” in the HUD.
Only parameters I have changed from default are below:
SERIAL5_BAUD = “230”
SERIAL5_PROTOCOL = “11”
PRX1_TYPE = “16”
PRX1_ORIENT = “0”
From my understanding GPS is on serial3, correct?
Serial 3 is the default GPS port.

Unfortunately, there is something broken with recent firmware and GPS is no longer detected by arducopter.
uBlox serial utility https://docs.emlid.com/navio2/dev/gps-ublox-ucenter/ is OK and we can see the GPS is working.
So is the only solution to go back to the previous copter firmaware version? I am trying to utilize the LD-06 Lidar which I believe was only implemented 2-3 versions ago.
Hello,
Some news, I updated firmware to 4.6.0-Beta1 and No GPS message changed to GPS: No Fix.
I have a working external GPS on UART and I will try settings for internal gps…
Navio GPS is working…

Awesome News! Thank you for looking into that Marc
