### RaccoonLab Cyphal and DroneCAN Rangefinder Adapter

The [RaccoonLab Cyphal and DroneCAN Rangefinder Adapter](https://raccoonlab.co/tproduct/360882105-910084093051-cyphal-and-dronecan-rangefinder-adapter)
allows several common rangefinders (LightWare LW20/C, TF-Luna, Garmin Lite V3, VL53L1CB) to be connected to the CAN bus via Cyphal or DroneCAN, providing a more robust interface than I2C or UART.
The [RaccoonLab Cyphal and DroneCAN Rangefinder Adapter](https://raccoonlab.co/tproduct/360882105-910084093051-cyphal-and-dronecan-rangefinder-adapter) allows several common rangefinders to be connected to the CAN bus via Cyphal or DroneCAN, providing a more robust interface than I2C or UART.
This adapter efficiently reads measurements via I2C or UART and publishes range data in meters, making it a versatile solution for UAVs, robotics, and technical documentation applications.

Supported rangefinders include:

- LightWare LW20/C
- TF-Luna
- Garmin Lite V3
- VL53L1CB

### RaccoonLab Cyphal and DroneCAN µRANGEFINDER

[RaccoonLab µRANGEFINDER](https://docs.raccoonlab.co/guide/rangefinder/uRANGEFINDER.html) is designed to measure distance and publish it via Cyphal/DroneCAN protocols. It can be used to estimate precision landing or object avoidance.
