User questions & answers

Question:	Can this detect rodents such as mice and rats? If so, any estimate for the range
Answer:	Hey, Follow below to switch cm/in for the pedometer! 1.press "MODE" button to enter Days Record screen then hold "SET" button until ADj stop flashed. 2.after that,press "RES" button to convert when cm/in flashing. It will save setting. Please watch instruction video if still confusing.
Question:	I found the blank side (not the side with components) is the one that is sensetive (5m detection) not what specs say.. anyone else sees the same
Answer:	It doesn't. I used the internet to convert values. It doesn't have to be reset each walk. Instructions say it holds data for 7 days, then restarts. You can also press Res for 3 secs to clear all saved data.
Question:	Can I have the output be like an open or close relay instead of voltage out? I want to use it like a dry contact, based on it triggering
Answer:	Yes,It‘ll count steps when you doing exercise in place. Its 3D Pedometer basically it's taking a sensor of space shaking. So when wearing it, it should be clipped in proper place
Question:	How about detecting when a gopher reaches a certain position, even though he is pushing dirt ? OR waving a wand above ground to find where its at
Answer:	Yup, it is already in the unit. Just pull the remove tag out of the pedomter on the back before use and no need screwdriver to open the batter cover.

Description:

RPLIDAR A1 is a low cost 360 degree 2D laser scanner (LIDAR) developed by SLAMTEC.

Most traditional non-solid LIDARs use slip ring to transfer power and data information, however, they only have thounds of hours of life due to mechanical wearing out.

Slamtec has integrated the wireless power and optical communication technology to self- design the OPTMAG technology, which breakouts the life limitation of traditional LIDAR system. It fixes the electrical connecttion failure caused by the physical wearing out so as to prolong the life span.



RPLIDAR is the designed sensor for applying SL AM algorithm, ideal for Robot Navigation and Localization.



Plug and Play

Just connecting the RPLIDAR and a computer via a micro USB cable, you can use the RPLIDAR without any coding job

1. Build-in serial port and USB interface

2. Open source SDK and tools

3. Integration with ROS



RPLIDAR A1 is basically a laser triangulation measurement system. It can work excellent in all kinds of indoor environment and outdoor environment without sunlight.



Application:

· Home service /cleaning robot navigation and localization

· General robot navigation and localization

· Smart toy’s localization and obstacle avoidance

· Environment scanning and 3D re-modeling

· General simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)

• ▶ RPLIDAR A1 is based on laser triangulation ranging principle and uses high- speed vision acquisition and processing hardware developed by Slamtec. The system measures distance data in more than 8000 times per second.
• ▶The system can perform 360 degree scanning within 6meter range. The produced 2D point cloud data can be used in mapping, localization and object/environment modeling. RPLIDAR A1’s scanning frequency reached 5.5 hz when sampling 360 points each round. And it can be configured up to 10 hz maximum
• ▶360 Degree Omnidirectional Laser Range Scanning. The core of RPLIDAR A1 runs clockwise to perform a 360 degree omnidirectional laser range scanning for its surrounding environment and then generate an outline map for the environment.
• ▶The sample rate of LIDAR directly decides whether the robot can map quickly and accurately. RPLIDAR improves the internal optical design and algorithm system to make the sample rate up to 8000 times, which is the highest in the current economical LIDAR industry.

FAQ:

Q: Can you use the RCWL-0516 with an ESP8266? Or will you get random false positive results?

A: I've done a short term test with the ESP8266 on a NodeMCU board. It seems to work just fine. The ESP greater Version 12-E is shielded and is FCC certified. So it should, by definition, not interfere with other electronics. However, one viewer reported random false positive results on a long shot.

Q: Is the water in the human body responsible for the detection?

A: Probably. I tested it with one empty and one water filled bottle. And even with a cat. And it seems that the bigger the object the further away it can be detected.

• 🚩 This RCWL-0516 module has the characteristics of high sensitivity, high induction distance, high reliability, large induction angle, wide power supply voltage range, etc. it is widely used in various kinds of human body induction lighting and alarm and so on.
• 🚩 The RCWL-0516 microwave radar sensor module can detect inert object at the condition that it has enough density, volume and it is in motion.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used to determine the distance and speed of an object
Answer:	Yes, the embedded board is included, the cable included too
Question:	Do these work even in a 3D printed box? I see someone else lined a box to lower the sensitivity. Was the whole module in the box
Answer:	I imagine it would. It picks up small animals like cats or even a half-bottle of water. If you want to test how far and "small" of an object fill a bottle of water little by little, with a sensor setup. Continue to fill the bottle of water until the sensor sees it. This will determine "how much water" an animal needs inside of it to be detectable at a certain distance. For a human, the distance is 4-5 meters for fairly reliable detection (smaller movements are LESS noticed, like fingers or turning your neck). Somewhere between 3-4 meters is where this thing really shines, almost no human movement goes undetected.. fingers, slightest movement of the neck, breathing. I would confidently recommend that these would detect small rodents.
Question:	Anyone know what the output on these are? High/low? Do you
Answer:	Both sides should work the same. Try rotating the device and try again. The reflective environment is a real factor.
Question:	Is this sensitive to rain? (I don't want it to be
Answer:	The device has no relay, so no dry contact. But, you can easily have the output go to the base of a switching transistor or the gate of a mosfet to switch your load on or off. FYI .... if you intend to use this outdoors, don’t bother. It needs the reflective surfaces of a indoor environment to operate correctly.
