A concise summary of my March 2026 talk to the Dallas Personal Robotics Group on the Maker's Pet ROS 2 robot kit: hardware, software architecture, LiDAR notes, and the upcoming app platform.
YDLIDAR X3, X3PRO, X2 and X2L are a low-cost 2D LiDAR 360-degree distance sensor used in robotics for navigation. Here are instructions to connect YDLIDAR X3/X3PRO and X2/X2L to the LiDAR port on Maker’s Pet BDC-30P and BDC-38P motor driver…
3irobotix Delta-2A, 2B and 2G are a low-cost 2D LiDAR 360-degree distance sensor used in smart vacuum cleaners for navigation. Here are instructions to connect Delta-2G to the LiDAR port on Maker’s Pet BDC-30P and BDC-38P motor driver and ESP32…
Here is my video instructions series with step-by-step explanations “How to Build an Arduino/ROS2 Self-driving Robot”. Here is what the robot can do – once the build is complete: Optionally, you can write your own Python or C++ code to…
Here is a DIY project I’d like to share. I’ve designed an adapter PCB to connect my LDS02RR Lidar to ESP32. I also wrote Arduino firmware to stream distance data live from LDS02RR – as well as many other low-cost…
We have created an Awesome 2D LiDARs list on GitHub. The list includes the LiDAR specifications, protocols, wiring diagrams, software interface code, identification photos and videos as well as performance evaluations (when available). The proliferation of consumer robotic vacuum cleaners…
LDROBOT LD14P is a low-cost laser distance sensor. We have not yet evaluated its performance, but eyeballing this sensor’s output under indoor conditions makes us believe this sensor may have a reasonable performance. LDS Specifications According to LDROBOT LD14P specifications:…
On 2/27/2024 I had the pleasure of giving an invited technical talk for the ROS Embedded Working Group. Please find the YouTube talk recording here. I discussed the REMAKE.AI home robot open-source architecture, its integration with eProsima micro-ROS including the…
Let’s take a look at: Please keep in mind that I’m going to launch an online store here, at makerspet.com, sometime in 2024, offering robot hardware kits. That said, you can always get all parts directly elsewhere. I’ve upgraded the…
A brief development update – Maker’s Pet robots now work with YDLIDAR X3 PRO laser distance scan sensors. The video below shows YDLIDAR X3 PRO streaming the distance data live to ROS2 Rviz viewer using Maker’s Pet Arduino ESP32 breakout…
