Re: No one even mentioned the new Raspberry Pi Pico?
For me, it looks too complex. I don't like complex things.

Re: No one even mentioned the new Raspberry Pi Pico?
what's the "remote function calling" mechanism mentioned on the Arduino presentation ?

ebay Little OT/rant. I won't buy anything from eBay! After 10 years and more than 600 positive feedbacks received as buyer and seller, I deleted my account there since I reported a lot of known scams to eBay without any result, and, worse still, I have a written email from eBay where they deliberat...

Re: what would you use to measure a distance 600..1300mm?
they may not meet the 'industrial' requirements, hence u'd need to decide if you would play with those https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-files/3317/adafruit_products_defaultrange.png yeah, I need 5mm of precision, but I don't know if the above dispersion data plot is really trust-able. Somethin...

Re: what would you use to measure a distance 600..1300mm?
just out of curiosity, has anyone ever hacked an already existing product like a "digital measuring tape" or built one?

Re: what would you use to measure a distance 600..1300mm?
Measuring with rotary encoder... The suggested video shows a Measuring Wheel , and it would be a good idea if I didn't need a contactless measurement . I mean, I cannot add a rail just for the measuring wheel, and the only way I can have a rotatory encoder in a contactless measurement environment i...

VL53L0X lidar? I don't know which is real precision of the VL53L0X, I tried the Sharp TOF10120 (SPAD, Single Photon Avalanche Diodes), which is ranging 100..1800mm, and ... well, it performs well in the 100..500mm range, but In the higher points, 750 and 1000mm, the readings are off by a great deal...

This would require to open and hack the motor-box I am using in order to install the rotatory encoder, but I would avoid it because the motor box is sealed.

what would you use to measure a distance 600..1300mm?
hi, I am building a complex machine that moves a plane vertically and I need to contactlessly measure the position between two movable points that range between 600 and 1300 mm with a precision of 5mm . I tried the some Sharp reflective IR sensors, but ... the voltage-distance curve is hardly non li...
