Introduction
The LeddarVu module enables developers and integrators to make the most of Leddar™
technology through integration in detection and ranging systems. The purpose of the LeddarVu
module is to easily and rapidly be integrated in various applications.
The module can be configured to be used in very simple applications or to perform more complex
tasks depending on the hardware and software settings.
1.1. Description
The LeddarVu module contains the following:
• Source and control assembly
• Receiver assembly
The module comes in two configurations:
1. SPI
2. USB, CAN and SERIAL
Depending on your configuration, they offer the following features:
• Horizontal field of view (FOV): 16°, 47.5° and 98.5°
• Vertical field of view (FOV): 0.3°, 2.25° and 3°
• 8 detection segments
• Real-time data acquisition and display (through SPI)
• SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) for the direct link with the receiver (SPI carrier board)
• I2C interface to read the optional temperature sensor on the source module (SPI carrier board)
• Serial link interface: TTL, RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 (USB, CAN and SERIAL carrier board)
• USB interface (USB, CAN and SERIAL carrier board)
• CAN bus interface for acquisition (USB, CAN and SERIAL carrier board)
