vdar is a low-cost 3D lidar scanner using the TF-Luna. It can generate point clouds of it's environment, which can be visualized with vvis. vdar is completely open source, and was designed for Hack Club Stasis.

I created vdar because of a general interest in LiDAR. I've been playing with point clouds for a few years, and wanted to create a device that could generate my own clouds. I also wanted to learn how to create a mechanically more complex design, combined with designing and manufacturing an actual PCB.

• ./hardware - Design files for vdar
  • ./hardware/cad - Fusion 360 & Step design files for vdarvdar
  • ./hardware/pcb - KiCad design files for vdar
    • ./hardware/pcb/production - PCB Production files (gerbers.zip)
• ./project - Project management files for vdar
  • ./project/assets - Media for project files
  • ./project/docs - Assembly instructions for vdar
  • ./project/finances - BOM & POs for vdarvdar
• ./vcore - ESP32 firmware for vdar
• ./vvis - NodeJS visualizer for vdar

Requirements:

• PlatformIO Core
• NodeJS
• Python3
