What is what

    It is widely known that a UAV can be working well only when the unmannedaerial vehicle system cooperates well. The UAV system mainly includes the machine body, moving control system, data link system, launch recovery system, and power supply system. The moving control system is equivalent to the "heart" part of the UAV system, and has an important impact on the stability of the UAV, reliability of data transmission, accuracy, real-time performance, etc. It plays a decisive role in good flight performance.

    Actually, the moving control system generally contains a lot of sensors, speed sensors, angular rate sensors, altitude sensors, pressure, optical flow, and so on. Although mechanical single channel LiDAR is pretty common in our life, but two problems cannot be neglected, i.e. short service life and high price due to the rotating measurement mode. So we test CE30, a solid-state LiDAR with larger FoV. It output grey and depth information within 132° horizontal FoV and 9° vertical FoV. Meanwhile no mechanical rotating components exist internally. Based on the optimized obstacle avoidance mode, we focus on the obstacle information in the ROI and enable unimpeded driving. Moreover, it can be applied in the general vehicle field, including Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV, such as intelligent warehouse vehicle), autopilot cars and industrial automation, etc.

2.   User-defined ID/IP
1)   CAN – obstacle avoidance mode:
a)   User-defined Baud Rate – to match the baud rate of other devices in CAN bus
b)   User-defined CAN-ID including data ID, heartbeat ID, command ID and config ID – to install multiple CE30-A devices in one CAN bus
See instructions in CE30-A Datasheet, page 10,Chapter 4.1.4.

2)   Point-cloud IP
User-defined IP address – to install multiple CE30-C devices in one robot
See instructions in CE30-C Datasheet, page 11,Chapter 7.1.


3.   Wide input voltage
The input voltage used to be 12V DC. Now it is updated to 11-25V.
