This is just to get the chat about the Neato LIDAR. Ideas on how to interface it use it or what ever about it.
Robotmaker has had them and selling them. They run on 5v about 500mA. It communicates with serial. I am just not sure of the baud rate parity bit for it.
Being that it can communicate serially. Once you know that stuff couldn't you just use a port and run it serially? Or would that slow the program down processing the info.
,i have both the older models and newr models both use my board that RINGO MADE,
it does not control by voltage it controls by how much current is need to get to 300 rpm
you can run the motor at 20 volts and still will work at 300rpm
a fet is a adjustable resistor depending how much drive turns it on ,it uses current to control the motor ,simple ohms law
FETS or mosfets are used a lot in controlling motor speed by the current
fet controlled dc motor
idea that may work is to use the EZB since it has PWM to control a fet for the motor,but the frequency needs to be changes maybe,might look at it
What will you use to process / analyse the LIDAR results? Won't you have to use the SDK and Direct X/Processing for visualization? Then how will you pass the results up into ARC into a EZ-Script some sort movement/path finding decision framework?
Someone good at making a EZ-SDK using c# should be easy ,API CODES are on the links i have up
he guy who hack it from what i remember he hook it up to a terminal program and was able to get the info
OR software expert like DJ should be able to do it easy if enouth of us guys ask him
Sorry about my grammar (i know it bad) i just write fast ,and more into designing
going to miss my secretary not only she is pretty but does my writing for me
Trying to learn C++ ,but is hard,some tell me its easy but the also program in C++ and i bet when they started to learn it was hard too
So in short, rip apart anything you own and use it however you wish provided it doesn't break any laws (like used to build a weapon type laws) and don't use it as part of a system you are going to sell.
ROBO-DOC not all do ,few use a cheato display controller in the neato xv-11 and tap in the serial port on board
one of the links tell you how to do it. USING linux
need to find a way to print a image in COMMAND PROMPT ,i have GUI show full data on the LIDAR
and distance .
soon as i have time today will post photos of the lidar on a pcb using only usb
What do you mean by print an image in the command prompt? Are you talking Linux terminal, windows command prompt or something else entirely? And print an image as in display it on screen, output it to a display or print it as in output to a printer?
If you explain what you mean a little better I might be able to tell you what you want to know.
I have a image on the command prompt screen and want to save it as a jpeg or bmp
Need to i guess hook up the neato lidar again ,may be to have more info,its a GUI
NICE to see you going to help its a good start,i try to help you but
Also how do you save on a windows screen as a jpg or bmp ,the print screen doesnt work
that may work better
Alt & Print Screen does only the active window.
Works for me
Even works in Putty
go to know this now so when i need it for my designs
I know it will work perfect
Have so many of them,paintshop , corel and sold most of them,i do have a very good software add on to photoshop called GENUNE FRACTALS 2.0 looking to sell,its for making any size image bigger without losing any pixels infomation
plus if anyone needs the interface board i can let you borrow it,need to email me off the forum
second if you make the code you get 50% off the LIDAR
I think it will work very good for EZB
I my sister mght have then or if there is a new one out,only uses uses MAC since college only uses the MAC and she told me its best computer for images,she just got her masters last year
i think it took 7 years no shore if it correct,
