This is an example of using the Hokuyo library for the Hokuyo URG-04LX 2 dimensional LIDAR (range finder) with the mbed. /media/uploads/jebradshaw/mbedwse_sbc_hokuyo.jpg

Above is the Hokuyo attached to the mbed WSE Project board (https://developer.mbed.org/users/jebradshaw/code/mbedWSEsbc/). I'm using a xbee form factor RS-232 level converter with a male DB9 (DTE). The on board 5V 1.5A OKI-78SR105 switching regulator is more then sufficient for powering the LIDAR.

O'scope capture of the serial data. This is using a cluster size of 3, about a degree resolution at 19200 baud gives an update rate of about 3.3Hz.
