TOF Laser Scanner Assembled.

A project log for Micro Robots for Education

We aim to make multi-robot systems a viable way to introduce students to the delight that is robotics.

An update on the progress of the robot 'hat'. This is a TOF laser sensor that can be plugged into the programming port of the robots. With a range of ~2m, this can scan a circle of ~4m with just a quick spin of the robot. Will be made on flex PCB to integrate a 90 degree bend. Probably the smallest PCB I have ever made.  Bring up on this board is not a priority, as there are core features that are still needed for the robot project, also debugging could be a pain, as these use up the debugging port. When you get used to the STM break point debugging, flashy LED debugging seems dreadfully inefficient.

Especially since the library for those is pretty huge and complicated, it can take considerable work.
