My idea is to use the Matrice 100 to fly over some forest and gather tree data with the lidar. I would like to ask get some information. 
1. Can I use the Matrice 100 power supply to power the Lidar 
2. Can I use the Matrice 100 GPS+INS to feed the Lidar, or I would need and extra GPS/INS 
3. Would I need to add some sort of board like a raspberry pi to gather and store the data while flying? If so which on a would you recommend?

I need to make some explanation about your questions:
1. The voltage of M100's battery is 22V. You can't use it directly to power livox. A power converter is required.
2. Since the M100 aircraft does not support hardware synchronization. GPS/INS data and lidar data cannot be synchronized without hardware synchronization and delay errors will exist. We do not recommend using the aircraft's GPS/INS.
3. We have documentation on GitHub about how to use external GPS/INS and raspberry pi for recording. This is the link: https://github.com/Livox-SDK/LivoxIntegration.
