Gen 6 Small Lidar Connector Compatibility Issue

1

Hello everyone,

We were working last week on the Gen 6 Small robot. We tried to plug the LIDAR’s connector into the PCB connector so @mbositc can try his software on it. However, we run into a connector issue. When trying to plug the LIDAR’s male connector into the female header on the PCB, they wouldn’t fit — the male connector seems too large for the socket [Images provided bellow]. I heard you are the person to ask the solution for this: @jithinlaldev, but help from anyone else is welcome as well.

Here are images showcasing the problem:
