I am slowly getting all the quirks with the T265 worked out by docking etc. We really need some distance sensing as well so we can get better detail of our surroundings. @DJ are there any plans in adding a distance sensor like a D435 (or D435i since we already have an IMU in the T265).
Just trying to work out what I should purchase in anticipation of some future depth sensing capabilities.
Anything we buy in Canada from US involves, shipping tax import duties and a customs handling fee from DHL or UPS. I ordered a $50 battery last week and it cost me more in all the overhead than just the battery. So much for USMACA.
I’ll never order anything from the USA again lol. I recently ordered $100 usd floor mats for my car. I paid $70 import brokerage. It’s outrageous!
I use Digikey when I need to source electronics and multiple vendors e.g. Adafruit, Sparkfun, Intel, DFRobot, Seedstudio. sometimes Mouser, and Farnell (aka Newark in US/CA). D435i 286 $CAD : https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/intel-realsense/82635D435IDK5P/9926004
Do you have to pay the same for shipments from China?
I will be honest I purchased mine second hand on eBay. :-)
China is hit or miss. Yesterday my Pi X turned up and I didn’t get charged anything but Jeramie did get charged.
@DJ What about the Lidar?
@ptp Do you have the D435i?
What about the lidar? LOL your question is lacking context haha
