Autonomous High-Speed Swerving Vehicle using the VL53L5CX Sensor The primary objective is to develop a high-speed autonomous vehicle that utilizes a VL53L5CX multizone Lidar sensor to execute fluid, real-time swerving maneuvers instead of traditional "stop-and-turn" movements. By leveraging 8x8 spatial depth mapping, the system maintains continuous forward momentum while proactively navigating around obstacles via a timed S-curve… |

Maker Turned a ToF Sensor Into a 3D Scanner What if a small sensor could understand space in three dimensions? A maker recently showed how a Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor can be turned into a basic 3D scanner. The sensor sends out infrared light and measures how long it takes to return, a method known as time-of-flight distance measurement. By using a multi-zone depth array, it captures several distance readings at the same time, creating… |
