My processing sketch now converts from RAE to XYZ. I used a single azimuth scan to prove that the conversion works. Then CloudCompare imports the file and can clean it up and save it as needed (I used e57).Once I saved it in an LAS file it opened in...
Build Logger (BL) has a lot of features that sure feel familiar: text to speech, voice commands, storage, web server, etc. It's no wonder people ask "What about just using your phone? It has a microphone and Internet access."Yes, yes it does. It is not...
I'm going into a second iteration of the project. The first step was a redesign of the XYZ sensor board. These are the major improvements:Increased sensitivityThe sensors felt slow and unresponsive on some of the darker video patterns, particularly those...
Here's an example of what you can do with the Myriad X carrier board. In this case, it's object detection and real-time absolute-position (x, y, z from camera in meters) estimation of those objects (including dz speed for people). This is actually...
Back to work! After a long hiatus, I'm making progress on this project again. The next step is to start building the mounting hardware for the X/Y stage, motors, vertical adjustment and optical engine itself. ---------- more ----------Let's...
This experiment is an xyz coordinate for foot position, which is moved by affecting the joysticks to move the coordinates at intervals related to the deflection of the joysticks. There are two joysticks, but one axis is ignored for this experiment. The...
Look, I understand that the resolution of civilian GPS systems is no where near the capabilities of military systems, but I think that's just okay! We aren't asking the crane operators to place a load with pinpoint accuracy without any help from the...
Repeating the first test but with CH340G USB to serial modules was successful. I was able to collect data and verify that the GPS modules position errors are mostly uncorrelated. All receivers are using the pedestrian motion model which is usually used...
After a couple days of marathon coding, Stubby v3 is now pretty much complete. You can move in any direction on the XY axis, translate the body on the XYZ axis, and roll the body on the XYZ axis. See all this and more in the demo video:Check...
Forward and Inverse kinematics are now being correctly calculated.Until now I could tell the motors to move to a given angle. The closed feedback loop and a PID controller would drive the motors to their destination. There were two things missing to...
Finally getting back to working on this project. Going to try to video most of the other work. This is just an attempt to practicing my video skills. Here's the link: XYZ Platform Cleaned Off
First and foremost if you get sea sick easy, you might just wanna listen and take an occasional peak. I tried the action cam head mount with this video. It gets very rolly very fast..ly. 8 ) Anyway some more videoing of trying to put together this...
