Instructables Rover#

From a message on 2020-09-08 by Doug Paradis to the DPRG mailing list:

Instructables sometimes drops a "pearl before swine" article that is well worth the read. Author GregF10 has written a series of four Instructables that describe an indoor rover using a Rpi and Pololu A-star 32U4 microcontroller. Main sensors are an IMU (mostly gyro) and a LidarLite v3. The articles are organized by: overview, locomotion, localization, and navigation.

The navigation article has a really interesting discussion about the use of the LiDAR sensor. The articles are well written and worth your time to investigate. Regards,Doug P.
