The Formula Zero Racing Team of the Technical University of Delft is planning to use our LPMS-U inertial measurement unit for their research. We hope our sensor will do its part to help them keeping on being as successful as they have been until now. Of course we also count on their valuable feedback regarding this mission critical application.
Here is a first demo of the Android driver of our LPMS-B inertial measurement unit. The LPMS-B is controlling the orientation of a simple 3D cube on the screen of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Improvements that are soon to be completed are faster response times and enhanced GUI functionality for calibration.
One of our LPMS-C sensors has been purchased by the University of Catania in Italy. I hope that we can work together with them to further improve our sensor to integrate into their systems as well as possible.
We ordered some stickers and here they are.. Beautiful aren’t they 🙂
Finally we are ready to show somw progress of the sensor development. Below you can see the new design and a few designs of the case of the Bluetooth version of the sensor (LPMS-B). Actually these have been ready for quite some time, but we were just to busy with finishing the firmware etc. to show them around.
For this image we made half of the case transparent, so you can see the sensor mainboard and the battery inside. Using this larger battery, the size of the sensor has become bigger than the initial prototypes, but the continuous runtime is up to 10 hours. We are planning on producing differently sized cases for different applications, requiring different battery runtimes.
Please note that this 3D print here does not show the final material that we are going to use for the case. The final version will probably be blue and made of non-transparent or semi-transparent plastic.
