====== LTP Lidar ======= The LTP Lidar was a simple 2D lidar I hacked together based on the LidarLiteV3 back in 2017 when the cheapest half decent 2D rig you could get was 5 grand. {{::untitled.45.jpg?600|}} I used a [[pic24f|PIC24F]] to interface with it and built a custom actuated PID controlled head with slip ring and encoder. If looking for a Lidar unit nowadays there are cheaper 3D units nowadays. * Git repo and more docs on it [[https://github.com/paulsammut/ltp|link]]. * Circuit board on circuitmaker [[https://circuitmaker.com/Projects/Details/Paul-Sammut-2/LTP-Board|link]]. * Circuit board schematic {{ltp_rev2_schematic.pdf|link}}. * CAD Model for the LTP Lidar [[https://grabcad.com/library/ltp-lidar-1|link]]. * Nice bug on electrical noise from the slip ring [[https://bitbucket.org/paulsammut/ltp/issues/1/i2c-comms-breakdown-when-head-operates-at|link]].
