I have a HILTI PD 30 time of light device. It should do 200m performance is more reliable below 50m :-(
They have some new models like the PD 40 which is specified to 200m. Specs:

paul chase replied to Joseph Glanville's discussion Cheap Laser Altimeter"Have you had any luck with the concept. I am looking for a laser time of flight module for something unrelated to drone aircraft. Have not been able to find any modules. Don't need output in engineering units, but some sort of digital output…"
Joseph Glanville replied to Anwar Ali Khan's discussion User Friendly Code"You should be fine reading the documentation to modify most of the variables (gains etc.)
Waypoints and such.. I think the config tool would be your best way out.
There is no "User Friendly Code".
However I would agree that Ardu needs a…"
Joseph Glanville replied to Joseph Glanville's discussion Cheap Laser Altimeter"Not so much atm.
Pursuing a company about some laser time of flight modules with raw serial output.
Absolute raw readings that is, timings and or calculated distances in plain text.
This is critical because then we can filter the results as we see…"

Functional is sexy."
Sergey replied to Joseph Glanville's discussion Cheap Laser Altimeter"Any progress with altimeter?
Can you send HiRe pictures of what is inside ?"
Joseph Glanville replied to Traiden D's discussion Licensing and autopilot questions."Gimbal = pan/tilt mount effectively.
Different gimbals and mount setups have different specifications and thus differences in slew speed, acuracy etc.
IMO the procerus test rig might not be the way to go. It's a flying wing and it looks like…"

This website states a typical measurement time of <0.5S up to a maximum of 2S along with a promotional video of it in use.
God knows what they package it in that results in a 2Kg…"
Joseph Glanville replied to Joseph Glanville's discussion Cheap Laser Altimeter"Aye, the trigonemetry method.
Those this method has it's uses I would much prefer to use a time-of-flight setup.
Much more accurate and alot less sensitive to issues."
Colin Sullivan replied to Joseph Glanville's discussion Cheap Laser Altimeter"I've looked into ideas for a cheap laser range finder, and I think the most cost effective is to use the CMUcam1 ($109) and a powerful laser pointer. Optical filters can be purchased and fitted over the lens of the camera to filter out unwanted…"

Can't remember the company that did it atm however... mind blank. :("
Joseph Glanville commented on Knuckles904's blog post $40 IMU now available at your local walmart...with a little help from radioshack"There would need to be some sort of filtering on the data for use of the IMU in games, the sensors they are using are still incredibly noisy and drifty.
It is possible they implement a kalman filter though I think a simpler solution for most games…"
Joseph Glanville commented on shrdhar m b's blog post little help pls.!"Read the Ardupilot documentation.
Also check out Paparazzi:

1. Depends, you can use a differential pressure sensor to obtain airspeed. Ground speed can be obtained via GPS.
2. Easy, Barometric altimeter or…"
Joseph Glanville commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post USAF all droned up"It's all made in China.
If anything they have the manufacturing facilities to pump out more UAS than any other country..
Numbers would be a deciding factor if war become entirely UAS."

Hi Guys!
Finally got around to getting up some kind of web presence for the team, far from complete and looking a little bare but this will be where to look as development speeds up over the university break. :)

Hey everyone!
I will be heading a team of first year students of the University of Technology in competing in this years UAV Outback Challenge. I am sure everyone here knows all about the challenge but if not you can find out more about it @ http://www.uavoutbackchallenge.com.au

I wish everyone else entering the best of luck (especially the Telemasters :P)
