LeddarVu8Arduino class

Introduction

Library for the Leddar Vu8 LiDAR sensor (using SPI) made by LeddarTech. User guide can be downloaded here.

Examples

• LeddarVu8ArduinoEchoes - Example of the readEchoes() function.
• LeddarVu8ArdunioDeviceInformationAndConstants - Example of reading the device info and constants.
• LeddarVu8ArdunioConfigurationData - Example of reading the device configuration data.
• LeddarVu8ArduinoChangeConfig - Example of changing the configuration data.

TODO

• Make mock library with very basic functionality.
• Test on real sensor.
• Cyclic redundancy verification.
• Add support for SPI write functions.
• Add support for other read functions when needed.
• Add support in the examples of the use of the ready pin.
• Investigate if the error handling can be done better.

Notes

Future development to be done by LeddarTech

• The X, Y, Z, Yaw, Pitch and Roll of the module in the configuration data bank are for no purpose at the moment.
• Pin 6 & 8, external synchronisation (input) and receiver sampling output (output) respectively, are to be implented in the future by LeddarTech.
