Adaptive Lidar Display(Grayscale Depth Scanner) | Variable P
Adaptive Lidar Display(Grayscale Depth Scanner) | Variable Pixel Size | Any Screen Size
Transform any compatible screen into a dynamic laser scanner display!
This microcontroller processes distance data from a single laser sensor and visualizes it directly onto a connected monitor. It creates a grayscale image where the shade of each block indicates the detected distance – the darker the pixel block, the closer the object is within the laser's range (0m to 4000m).
Key Features:
Adaptive Display: Automatically scales the scan pattern and output to fit the physical size of any compatible screen you connect.
Configurable Detail: Customize the display resolution/pixel size to suit your needs. Select the block size by providing a number on the Composite 2 input channel (read once during initialization):
0: 2x2 physical pixel blocks
1: 3x3 physical pixel blocks
2: 4x4 physical pixel blocks
3: 2x3 physical pixel blocks (Width 2, Height 3)
4: 4x3 physical pixel blocks (Width 4, Height 3)
Grayscale Distance Mapping: Provides a clear visual representation of nearby and distant objects based on intensity.
Potential Applications:
Enhance navigation, improve situational awareness during low visibility (like night or fog), assist with docking, or create unique visual effects on your vehicle's displays.
Connections:
Requires a single Laser Distance Sensor and a compatible Display block. Please ensure all necessary inputs and outputs on the microcontroller are correctly connected for proper operation.
Performance Note:
This microcontroller utilizes a direct pixel block drawing method, which can be computationally intensive. While optimizations have been made, displaying on very large or high-resolution screens may still impact game performance. This system is provided as an interesting prototype.
