Lasers are some of the coolest devices around. We can use them to cut things, create laser light shows, and also as a rangefinder.[Ignas] wrote in to tell us about [Berryjam’s] AMAZING write-… ...

Using laser distance meters as sensors is one of the great quests of hackers ... The only option seemed to be using the Arduino to simulate button presses on the 390B’s front panel.

Its the low cost “easy button” of distance sensors. We’ve put all the smarts inside our onboard 32-bit micro so you won’t have to dedicate your Arduino to the task.

4. Connect the breadboard rails to Arduino GND and +5V, and then check that your setup matches that of Figure 10-3. Mounting the Laser. For this project, I’ve attached the servos to a pan-and ...

LiDAR technology utilizes laser light to measure distance to objects and terrain. Many of these sensor systems, such as Quanergy's solid-state unit for self-driving cars , can cost upwards of US ...

A highly accurate laser distance sensor, the AS2100 is designed to work well outdoors, in bright lights, and even on difficult hot or dark surfaces. It provides superior accuracy at long range.

Teledyne e2v has announced a family of CMOS image sensors for 3D laser triangulation – for use in applications such as distance measurement, profile measurement and high resolution physical inspection ...
