Previously on agayon.be, I mentioned a new small project: a SLAM device.

It was finished recently and this article presents its final form.

After many trials, the chosen design includes an optical rotary encoder disk with 360 teeth in order to provide a theoretical resolution of one degree. The Arduino code sends the data through serial connection in a compatible way with the xvlidar library. Therefore, the lidar module can be used with the BreezySLAM module of Simon D. Levy. Moreover, the data are being sent through XMPP to another computer where the map can be plotted.

A follow up to my previous post: building a SLAM device to map a room in 2 or 3 dimensions.

I recently purchased some new products. The aim is to build a mapping device for the Agayon. This subproject will be built from a Lidar Lite v3, a 5V stepper motor, pulleys ,belt, a compatible arduino nano v3, slip ring and a homemade wooden chassis.
