I was also surprised that the LDS Piccolo board was not changed at all, guess it's a great design that can't be optimized much further.Hashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18259481795809865397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356425659873504094.post-78012604082510751172018-02-14T10:00:35.250+05:002018-02-14T10:00:35.250+05:00I was reading your blog on the Bluetooth obd2 sens...I was reading your blog on the Bluetooth obd2 sensor. I own a company that uses these sensors. It will connect and reconnect about 5 times using the Apple phone. Then, it won’t connect again. My android app works flawlessly. Any suggestions?

Driver circuit is the same, so I guess the power should be the same too. But Botvac uses induction power transfer to the spinning head instead of sliding contacts on XV head. Sliding contacts can deliver more power, so in theory Botvac laser power can be limited. But it needs to be tested to be sure. Laser power is in mW range and it is not that much, linear camera needs more than laser probably.Anton Veretenenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150583438255070310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356425659873504094.post-14934073390221029302017-05-23T20:41:41.161+05:002017-05-23T20:41:41.161+05:00I was wondering if you know the range of the Botva...I was wondering if you know the range of the Botvac's lidar? The XV models seem to be roughly 6 meters. I've been working with a Botvac lidar unit. The distance readings are very solid and low noise but only seem to extend to around 60 to 70cm (about 2ft). Do you know if this is typical for that model?Pumping Lemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070550897919204468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356425659873504094.post-50501758504770373242015-12-30T15:10:08.688+05:002015-12-30T15:10:08.688+05:00Well, I could not find a laser diode replacement a...Well, I could not find a laser diode replacement and it is not reliable to replace it because it needs to be focused correctly.<br />I replaced whole pcb with laser diode and lens, took it from XV lidar, but I have to keep my base pcb because Botvac is different to XV.<br />You can just buy a lidar unit as laser diodes are not available.Anton Veretenenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150583438255070310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356425659873504094.post-34226521405202292622015-12-30T11:41:17.008+05:002015-12-30T11:41:17.008+05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448829739177860149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356425659873504094.post-49794842982979900682015-12-30T10:51:36.122+05:002015-12-30T10:51:36.122+05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448829739177860149noreply@blogger.com
