Aditya Kamathadityakamath.hashnode.dev·Jun 3, 2023Odometry using Optical FlowA few weeks ago, I got my hands on the PAA5100 Near (15-35mm) Optical Flow sensor from Pimoroni. With such a short range, it seemed perfect for one of my mobile robots, so I decided to write a ROS 2 Humble node for it. I decided to start off using th...Discuss·788 readsROS
Jishnu Sureshlonebots.hashnode.dev·May 22, 2023Seamless Robotics Integration: Setting Up micro-ROS on ESP32Let's get the job done. Setting up micro-ROS on resource-constrained edge computing systems like ESP32 was a tedious job for me, which made me think of writing a blog to make it easy. So in this article, we will be mainly discussing some basics of RO...Discuss·10 likes·30 readsmicro-ROS
