Flux is a LiDAR payload designed for seamless integration with Astro. Setup and data capture with Flux is quick and simple, and lidar scans can be processed super fast in the field to ensure you captured the data you need.

There are three variants of Flux, featuring proven lidar sensors from Livox, Hesai, and Ouster. Flux provides survey-grade accuracy for 3D mapping applications across various fields, such as surveying, construction, infrastructure management, forestry, mining, aggregates, and more.

Flux boasts a high-performance on-site LiDAR workflow that significantly improves mapping efficiency. With advanced low-noise IMUs, dual full-band GNSS receivers (L1/L2/L5/L6), and a built-in 20MP camera for colorization \[coming soon], it truly enhances the overall mapping experience.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.freeflysystems.com/ecosystem/payloads/flux-lidar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
