When your rover is tired and needs to call it a day for recharging its batteries, it needs a home. But to come out the next day, it needs to backout... i.e. to have a backwards function... sort of like a copter's landing and take off.I realize there…
"I'm no Piksi/Pixhawk expert and I'm trying to do the same basic pattern. I believe I don't need any more "modules". You might also look at the Piksi forum. Hopefully there you can find out what still needs to be done. "
"When I fired up my rover, the mission planner showed its direction to off by more than 180 degrees. After some simple driving around, the orientation started to resemble the rover. Way cool.
Thanks for clarifying these steps

"I too noticed that problem quite a while ago so I'm grateful that its been put on the list.
Thanks again to Grant and all the rover developers

"Anyone can sign up on the Pozyx website (above) for the latest news and information."
"Our plan is to program the Arduino to send real GPS messages to the Pixhawk based on the location of the Pozyx. So as far as the Pixhawk/rover is concerned its connected to a real GPS. If all goes according to plan, we'll be able to use the Mission…"
"Project Funded!"
"I've played with the Piksi and while its goal is amazing accuracy, its still in early beta. Frankly I haven't had much luck with it in less than perfect sky views. Since my rover is to be used in a known area like a backyard, my money (literally) is…"
"FYI... a few days ago, the Pozyx team,announced a Kickstarter stretch goal that will make sure that the Pozyx, an Arduino shield that promises centimeter localization, works with ROS. "
Howdy All,I stumbled across this project yesterday. It uses UWB Decawave chips. The Pozyx is a Arduino shield. The system is made up of 4 anchors around the room and 1 arduino compatible tag. A Pozyx team member confirmed that their system could be…
"Victor,
My hope was to design and build an outdoor system that is affordable to hobbyists. The ROS "approved" lasers are either $1000's, have limited range or are for indoor use only.
BTW have you seen the new Lightware SF30/B? Its still…"

"Victor,
My son the programmer is telling me he can create a map of a simple interior space like a hallway using our rotating LIDAR LITE or SF02. But he thinks its not possible to map outdoors... its too "noisy"... so we're kinda stuck.
Would…"

"Is there a link to show what advantages these two new boards have over the Pixhawk?
For instance:
1) Could either of these boards take a map "drawn" by a rotating LIDAR mounted atop a rover and guide it from point to point?
2) Will these boards…"

"Howdy all,
My son has been working on connecting the SF02-32 Hz version to ROS. Here is a quick pic at the SF02 connected to ROS' RVIZ. More work needed but its getting there.
Next week we'll try to get the 100 Hz Lidar Lite hooked up to RVIZ.…"

"Hi LD
I've always believed the scanner can be attached to an aerial drone. If your drone can lift a gimbaled camera system with three motors, then the scanner should be NBD. My son, the programmer, is currently working on connecting your laser to…"
