Review: Low cost YDLidar X4 sees 360º all around itself

The YDLidar X4 is a very affordable Lidar that is mainly intended for applications in robots. The software is targeted at Visual Studio 2010 and there are demo applications for Windows and Linux. All necessary libraries are freely available, of course. The Lidar measures 360 degrees around and detects obstacles from 12 cm to more than 10 meters.

Add Lidar Vision to Your Robot

Add Lidar Vision to Your Robot

Techniques that used to be available for multi-million defence projects only are becoming more affordable. Take lidar, short for Light Detection And Ranging, a 3D laser scanning method for mapping the environment. Initially intended for satellite tracking, today you can buy a miniature lidar for under €100. Add the software from this project and away you go (your robot, of course).

Oh, the Raw Power: Siglent SPD3000X Lab Power Supply

Oh, the Raw Power: Siglent SPD3000X Lab Power Supply

From your lab power supply, you look for power, infallible reliablility and stability of a gazlillionth of a volt. Hence the reticence towards anything in this area that is not a-na-lo-gue… Now the Siglent SPD3000X programmable power supply is, rightly, striking for its TFT liquid crystal screen. Since this one displays essential parameters and voltage waveforms in real time, does that carry enough weight to sway the opinion of old greybeards?

WaterColorBot Doubles as a STEAM Laboratory

WaterColorBot Doubles as a STEAM Laboratory

Help your children dream STEAM! Neither a toy nor a gadget, this WaterColorBot is an attractive educational project, involving girls, kids, adults, and teachers into active robotics and creative making. It not only provides opportunities for young people to build and learn about computer numerical control and to learn how to program a robot. It can be used far beyond that horizon. The WaterColorBot V2.0 is essentially a specialized pen plotter, using watercolors to paintbrush onto paper before your eyes. It dips its brush in water, goes and gets the right color. Standard watercolor paints and paper are used (no specialized supplies required).
