TF-Luna LiDAR Distance Sensor Library for Proteus V1.0

TF-Luna LiDAR Sensor Library for Proteus V1.0: the module with its STATUS panel and the Advance pop-up

Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share the new TF-Luna LiDAR Distance Sensor Library for Proteus V1.0 . The TF-Luna from Benewake is a tiny single-point LiDAR : it shines modulated infrared light at a target and measures the distance from the reflection, from 20 cm to 8 m , up to 250 times a second. Robots use it to avoid walls, drones to hold their height, and makers to measure a tank, a door or a parking space. Now you can test those projects in Proteus. Behind the part sits our own model , written from Benewake's manual. It has both interfaces - the UART with its 9-byte frames and its commands, and I2C with the register file and the data-ready pin - chosen by pin 5 at power-on, just like the real module. The signal strength falls with the distance and ...

Sharp IR Distance Sensor Library for Proteus V1.0: GP2Y0A21YK0F

Sharp IR Distance Sensor Library for Proteus V1.0: the GP2Y0A21YK0F with its STATUS panel and the Advance pop-up

Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share the new Sharp IR Distance Sensor Library for Proteus V1.0 . The Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F is the small black sensor with two round eyes that robots use to see walls and obstacles: it measures the distance to an object from 10 to 80 cm with infrared light and gives it as an analog voltage, so any Arduino reads it with one analogRead() . Now you can test those projects in Proteus. Behind the part sits our own model , not a voltage source with a knob. It follows the datasheet: the output curve, a new measurement every 38.3 ms , the noise of each measurement, the 30 mA it draws, and its classic trap - an object closer than about 6 cm gives a voltage that looks like a farther object. You move the object in 5 cm steps, pick a pre ...
