Neato Vacuum XV Working LIDAR & custom Teensy controller -robotics first step:
$169.99

Did you ever dream to build an autonomous robot?Something like Stanley from DARPA Grand Challenge 2005?You will need to start somewhere... This can be thebeginning.
For sale it is a package that can be your first big step into building an automatic navigation robot.
It does contain an working Laser distance sensor (LIDAR) and a controller with a nice mount for the LIDAR.The controller is brand new and it is build with the Teensy 2.0 controller. You will get a nice light mount for the controller. The controller mount was built on a 3D printer so expect some small imperfections on the surface of the mount.
The controller has pins headers attached, the Teensy is not soldered into the controller, so you can take the Teensy out and use it for other projects, if you need it (see pictures)
You will need 2 small screws to screw the controller to the mount and 4 screws to attach the LIDAR to the mount. (those screws are not provided)Why do you need a mount for your board?
  • Reduce the risk of an accidental short circuit
  • Protect your desk surfacefrom getting scratched
  • Provide a flush mounting surface into your projects
The controller has amultirole:
  • to manage the LIDAR motor speed using an enclosed response system (as you know -or do not know-, the LIDAR transmit valid data only if the LIDAR spins at around 300 RPM)
  • tocommunicatewith the LIDAR electronics: send commands and receive information from it.
  • to act as an interface between this LIDAR system and an external system control (like a BeagleBone Black, aRaspberryPi, a Teensy, a Arduino ... controller) that can handle the navigation algorithms and controls.
On this video fromYouTube:

you can see it in action (the controller from the video it\'s an older version, but the functionality of the new and old controller it\'s the same).On this video fromYouTube:

you can see the LIDAR connected to a BeagleBone Black and a Windows PC. You can see that by using this combination most of the communication issues are solved and you only need to take it further and implement your robot or device that is in your mind.
(for the LIDAR with the complete enclosure, check my other sales).
Right now a series of commands are accepted by the controller over the serial interface (115k) and the datarequiredis sent back over over the same interface.The list of commandsavailableat this time is (the commands can also be typed only in - send out the distance information in a computer readable format
\"HumanOff\"\"HumanOn\" - send out the distance information in a human readable format
// XV Commands \"GetPrompt\"\"GetVersion\"
You will also receive a second/newer software package with new commands (and some other renamed)You can use either package you want as both of them will work (one at one time)\" ShowConfig - Show the running configuration\"\" SaveConfig - Save the running configuration to EEPROM\"\" ResetConfig - Restore the original configuration\"\" SetRPM - Set the desired rotation speed (min: 200, max: 300)\"\" SetKp - Set the proportional gain\"\" SetKi - Set the integral gain\"\" SetKd - Set the derivative gain\"\" SetSampleTime - Set the frequency the PID is calculated (ms)\"\" ShowRPM - Show the rotation speed\"\" HideRPM - Hide the rotation speed\"\" ShowDist - Show the distance data\"\" HideDist - Hide the distance data\"\" ShowAngle - Show distance data for a specific angle (0 - 359 or 360 for all)\"\" MotorOff - Stop spinning the lidar\"\" MotorOn - Enable spinning of the lidar\"\" HideRaw - Stop outputting the raw data from the lidar\"\" ShowRaw - Enable the output of the raw lidar data\"
What you will get: -You will receive the LIDAR , the controller already loaded with the code to manage the system and the mount for the controller. -You will also receive by email a copy of the source code so you can understand it and expand it if you need. -Teensy 2.0 can be programmed with the standard Arduino 1.05 IDE.
In the current configuration, the system only need a USB connection (that also provide the required power) to work, so it does not need an external power source.
