1. Where is Charlie (part 3)

    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.
