Room map generated with the ROS Cartographer algorithm, using the Xaxxon OpenLIDAR sensor - the shading represents the probability percentage that Cartographer adds to the occupancy grid.
Area shown is about 100 square meters, red dots are raw data points from the LIDAR

First look at the Xaxxon OpenLidar finished product: a USB powered rotational laser scanner with open hardware and software. Will be offered as a fully assembled sensor or 3d-print-your-own kit version

First test of #3Dprinting timelapse setup on the #Prusa-i3! Running #Octoprint on a #RaspberryPi Zero with a DSLR plugged into an #Ubuntu workstation running #Gphoto2 and #RubyonRails serving up still image urls for the #OctoLapse plugin handling the print head parking

Very cool customer video - lidar equipped Oculus Prime auto-navigating, with path and range data viewed thru augmented reality goggles https://t.co/4HRxWsXDW6

The latest iteration of our multi function differential drive robot MALG PCB is here: https://t.co/SMDt531Nlw

Yes, perhaps this is going a little overboard with sensors... Dual @Orbbec Astra depth cams with proto horiz lidar using @Garmin lidarlite3 rangefinder #oculusprime

[Xaxxon Technologies @xaxxontech]

@silardgal That's the plan - we're working on a new robot model that will have this built in as standard, and we'll be offering an Oculus Prime retrofit version, as well as a kit version for general DIY projects

[Xaxxon Technologies @xaxxontech]

Xaxxon #LIDAR getting closer to reality, ready for production PCB layout. Quiet #steppermotor driven with Garmin Lidar-Lite 3 rangefinder reading at 750Hz. USB powered, this proto uses only 350mA at 5V. #Opensource #arduino firmware and #ROS driver

Testing the $3 #OV7670 #camera module with #arduino (actual output lower right) -- decent VGA image but woefully slow at 5 seconds per frame, 1M baud serial over USB to PC #Java
