A project log for Open LIDAR

This project is to build a motorized gimbal mount to convert a laser distance module into a 3d LIDAR.

All the pieces are now drilled and ready for assembly. The glue is setting on the carriage so final mechanical assembly will have to wait until tomorrow. Next step is to solder my arduino [clone] and battery holders. Then load them up and see what happens.

I had to remove the lazy Susan to fix the torque issue. Project is a bit wobbly until I can get a thrust washer to put in there to help support the load. But it works well enough to keep working while I wait for the part. Maybe at the hackerspace someone will help me center the lazy Susan. Who knows.
