1. A computing device configured to trigger a sensor operation, the computing device comprising:
one or more processors; and
instructions or logic that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform:
receiving timestamps from a sensor;
simulating an operation of the sensor, the simulation including predicting orientations of the sensor at different times based on the received timestamps;
comparing a latest timestamp of the computing device to a latest timestamp of the sensor;
based on the comparison, and based on a predicted orientation of the second sensor matching a predicted orientation of the first sensor, triggering a second sensor to capture sensor data;
writing, into an allocated memory, the sensor data, wherein the allocated memory comprises registers that allocate addresses corresponding to a status, a control, an underflow count, an overflow count, a Lidar count, and a timestamp threshold; and
navigating a vehicle by controlling a vehicle actuator to implement a throttle action, a braking action, or a steering action according to the captured sensor data.
