LIDAR

2023

Arduino

• Goals

  • Have the motor scan back and forth from 0 to 160 deg
    – One step at a time (i.e. 1.8 degree)

  • For each step

    • Make an analog read

    • Send to the serial port <angle>,<range>.

      • <angle> is the current angle in 1/10 of degree (integer value)

      • <range> is in mm (integer value)

      • For example if you are at 45 deg and you read 80 cm send 450,800.

      • Don’t forget the period (.) as the delimiter

    • Wait for a character before sending the data and moving to the next
      step

  • Observe the result on the SONAR Processing program
