I enjoy electronics. I am most interested in building robots. I built one using a GPS module and it worked only ok. My next project is to build a follow me robot using a LIDAR module. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'm sure it would be helpful. I found one youtube video on LIDAR but only one. I hope to see more video's on LIDAR.
Thank you,
Ray

Welcome to the forum Ray. It sounds like you need to follow member @Inq. He and a few others are 7 pages into a topic about some sort of intelligent robot (I think, it's all beyond me)
Almost forgot Dennis (@Inq) has done some work with Lidar.
First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
My personal scorecard is now 1 PC hardware fix (circa 1982), 1 open source fix (at age 82), and 2 zero day bugs in a major OS.

Welcome to the forum...
I mostly use ToF sensors which is the same principle as lidar, but in a cheaper, smaller package. If you're talking about the spinning kind I think @robotbulder is the most up on using those. As @zander said, the InqEgg robot (see many topics on it to the right) we're on page 7. It's a pretty simple robot using a 8 X 8 ray ToF sensor as input to an AI robot that I hope will not run into things. And yes, in theory at least it should be able to train to do following of a person. Actually, that might be an interesting 2nd task for it.

@rayb9948 Bill has a video at
and the article that goes with it is at https://dronebotworkshop.com/getting-started-with-lidar/

I have never used one. My only experience is with sonar.
I was going to suggest Bill's tutorial.
My only current interest is trying to use vision for navigation and recognition tasks.
