RoboSense AC1
-------------------

- **Connection to Jetson**: Single USB cable directly from AC1 to the NVIDIA
  Jetson companion computer.

Integration Notes
-----------------

- Verify that the **UBEC output** matches the AC1 input requirements before
  connecting.  
- Ensure the **USB link** is stable and recognized by the Jetson (check with
  **lsusb**).  
- Maintain secure cabling to prevent disconnections during flight.
