Have you had any luck with the concept. I am looking for a laser time of flight module for something unrelated to drone aircraft. Have not been able to find any modules. Don't need output in engineering units, but some sort of digital output…

Me too.
Joseph Glanville replied to Anwar Ali Khan's discussion 'User Friendly Code'
You should be fine reading the documentation to modify most of the variables (gains etc.)
Waypoints and such.. I think the config tool would be your best way out.
There is no "User Friendly Code".
However I would agree that Ardu needs a…

Not so much atm.
Pursuing a company about some laser time of flight modules with raw serial output.
Absolute raw readings that is, timings and or calculated distances in plain text.
This is critical because then we can filter the results as we see…

Looks very functional.
Functional is sexy.
Sergey replied to Joseph Glanville's discussion 'Cheap Laser Altimeter'
Any progress with altimeter?
Can you send HiRe pictures of what is inside ?
Joseph Glanville replied to Traiden D's discussion 'Licensing and autopilot questions.'
Gimbal = pan/tilt mount effectively.
Different gimbals and mount setups have different specifications and thus differences in slew speed, acuracy etc.
IMO the procerus test rig might not be the way to go. It's a flying wing and it looks like…

This website states a typical measurement time of <0.5S up to a maximum of 2S along with a promotional video of it in use.
God knows what they package it in that results in a 2Kg…

Aye, the trigonemetry method.
Those this method has it's uses I would much prefer to use a time-of-flight setup.
Much more accurate and alot less sensitive to issues.
Colin Sullivan replied to Joseph Glanville's discussion 'Cheap Laser Altimeter'
I've looked into ideas for a cheap laser range finder, and I think the most cost effective is to use the CMUcam1 ($109) and a powerful laser pointer. Optical filters can be purchased and fitted over the lens of the camera to filter out unwanted…

Hi!
Sorry things have been hectic wirh uni atm,
I haven't abandoned the idea yet, just taken a backseat for a while.
Hopefully will have some more time soon to play.

Hi Joseph,
I guess you must be gearing up for the outback challenge. I drop you a line on your project site last week, I'm now back from holidays and now up and running. Any news on RTK GPS base station, I'm going to start on that next…
Joseph Glanville commented on Chris Anderson's blog post 'Landing tech could let drones see like pilots'
I believe I saw this tech implemented some time ago when searching for image recognition research papers.
Can't remember the company that did it atm however... mind blank. :(
Joseph Glanville commented on Knuckles904's blog post '$40 IMU now available at your local walmart...with a little help from radioshack'
There would need to be some sort of filtering on the data for use of the IMU in games, the sensors they are using are still incredibly noisy and drifty.
It is possible they implement a kalman filter though I think a simpler solution for most games…

Hi Guys!
Finally got around to getting up some kind of web presence for the team, far from complete and looking a little bare but this will be where to look as development speeds up over the university break. :)

See you all around!

UAV Outback Challenge 2009

Hey everyone!
I will be heading a team of first year students of the University of Technology in competing in this years UAV Outback Challenge. I am sure everyone here knows all about the challenge but if not you can find out more about it @ http://www.uavoutbackchallenge.com.au
Soon I will be starting a build log and sharing our progress as soon as I get our website up and running. :)
I wish everyone else entering the best of luck (especially the Telemasters :P)

"Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your interest. The only way to get sub-meter accuracy is through carrier-phase differential GPS, and this means you need carrier phase measurements to be output by your gps receiver so you can then use something like sweetGPS to find your position solution. Unfortunately, most gps receivers do not bother to output the carrier phase measurements as this adds complexity. Most likely the receivers you have will be of no use in trying to use this code. This code is meant to run in real time, so you may want to try some of the other open source codes (gpstk) to see if they can help you with post processing.
The Superstar II is being discontinued, and this code is being adapted (rather slowly) for use with the Ublox receivers that also output carrier phase measurements. The Ublox are rather cheap < 100$, but the interface to their output needs to be written.
Using two Superstar II boards, you would also need two computers and communication between the two, and you could certainly build an enclosure to protect against weather.
SweetGPS is still under development, although not very actively. It will almost surely get ported to new hardware this year.
All the best,
Steve"
I'm going to contact Steve to see how he has progressed, do you have anything you would like to add.
Thanks Stephen Jack
