Read distance data from a 3irobotix Delta-2A on a Raspberry Pi in Python — and run the PID + PWM loop that spins its motor at 6 Hz via the Maker's Pet driver board, no ESP32 required.
Read distance data from the ~$15 Xiaomi LDS02RR on a Raspberry Pi in Python — and run the PID + PWM loop that spins its motor at 5 Hz, which the LDS02RR cannot do for itself.
Turn the LD14P's raw distance data into a live polar radar you watch in any web browser — served straight from a headless Raspberry Pi with Flask. Part 3 of the LD14P + Raspberry Pi series.
Part 2: stop, start and set the scan speed of the LDROBOT LD14P LiDAR from Python on a Raspberry Pi 5, over UART.
Stream live distance data from an LDROBOT LD14P 2D LiDAR on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 using Python and pyserial. Wiring, UART setup, and full source code.
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.
