  • The LEGO Radar System (LRS) is based on reflection of ultrasonic waves and infrared light and is technically not seen as a radar, which operates based on reflection of electromagnetic waves.
    In its operations the LRS scans an area of 160 degree at a range of 1.50 m. For in-house operation this is regarded as sufficient, however the range can be increased up to the max of the Ultrasonic Sensor at 2.55 m. The LRS uses a combination of ultrasonic and infrared light reflection to deliver best results on a wide range of surfaces, including walls, carpets, curtains, windows …
    A program download is available at: drive.google.com/open?id=1Lmr...
    The LRS is built with LEGO bricks and programed with the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Software, with the exception of the cables, which are from Mindsensors due to their higher flexibility.

    can you tell me more about increasing the range of the infrared sensor?
    Cuz i have a car that can drive remotly, but if it is further than about 2.50 meters, it almost dont react anymore

      Infrared isn't very reliable at long distances, so you just have to follow the car around

    Is it possible to make a tracking mechanism using this concept in a vehicle?

    • @thoroughfareproduction
      @thoroughfareproduction  Před 8 lety

      The Lego Radar System is further used in ODEsin alpha (czcams.com/video/tFDOhl7Kh00/video.html) to create an accurate representation of the current (static) environment. However the self-driving EV3 robot is moving while tracking and mapping, that might be a first step for your tank. The description is given in section 4) Lego Radar System (LRS) and Mapping of the ODEsin alpha Tutorial (czcams.com/video/i02HcqFCFPs/video.htmlm).
      For the second step you might search the internet for ‘radar tracking algorithm’ and ‘kalman filter’.

    Why did you use both the IR sensor and the Ultrasonic sensor?
    Wasn't the ultrasonic just enough?

    • @thoroughfareproduction
      @thoroughfareproduction  Před 6 lety +1

      The LRS uses a combination of ultrasonic and infrared light reflection to deliver best results on a wide range of surfaces, including walls, carpets, curtains, windows. But you are right, if you have to pick only one I would go for the ultrasonic, its just more precise.
      I originally built the LRS to learn about the sensors and later on deployed modified versions in the vehicles.

    I constructed one but the radar seems to turn more than 1 rotation, help, please?

    • @thoroughfareproduction
      @thoroughfareproduction  Před 4 lety

      Each step of the LRS is set at 10 degrees; these are fixed and you can see it in the MyBlock LRS_Variables [180-(a+1)*10]. Depending on the construction the motor has to make a number of turns. In my construction the gear ratio is 1:8 for the worm gear and 8:24 for the turntable resuling in an overall gear ratio of 1:24. Hence for one step the motor has to turn 10 degrees x 24 = 240 degrees or 0.667 x 360 degrees. In the MyBlock LRS_TurnRadar the number of turns [0.667] for a 10 degree shift can be set (altered to adjust to your construction / gear ratio). Hope that helps.

    • @thoroughfareproduction
      @thoroughfareproduction  Před 5 lety

      The coordination of each dot is stored in an array. The dot on the screen is simply erased by plotting a white dot at the same place prior to make an update.
      There is a program download link in the description for your convenience.
      Have fun!

      @thoroughfareproduction  Před 5 lety

      The LRS uses a combination of ultrasonic and infrared light reflection to deliver best results on a wide range of surfaces, including walls, carpets, curtains, windows. With only one sensor available I would go for the ultrasonic, its just more precise in most of the situations. I originally built the LRS to learn about the sensors and later on deployed modified versions in the vehicles.

    How did you get that display?

    • @thoroughfareproduction
      @thoroughfareproduction  Před 7 lety +2

      This is fairly well described in the EV3 help procedures. First select Tools - Image Editor. The Image Editors allows to create images (from camera pictures) and text to display on the EV3, alas only monochrome. The file is converted to *.rgf, the EV3 format. It can then be included in the program using the Action Block - Display.

      Indeed, it is short range only. But with some math it is quiet precise for up to one meter

      Yes, it works without the ultrasonic sensor. However just using the infrared sensor makes it less precise and the program must be adapted (remove the ultrasonic sensor)
