LeddarTM Sensor Evaluation Kit LeddarTM Enabler Software Development Kit Test the Power of LeddarTM The Leddar™ Evaluation Kit can be integrated into any detection and ranging system, enabling developers and integrators to make the most of Leddar™ technology with unmatched flexibility thanks to its compact size, low weight, ease of integration, low power consumption, and high reliability. Combining multiple independent active elements, typically 16, into a single sensor, Leddar™ provides continuous, rapid and accurate detection and ranging — including lateral discrimination — in the entire wide beam, without any moving parts. The Leddar™ Enabler Software Development Kit (SDK) enables developers and integrators to easily and rapidly integrate Leddar™ Technology into their systems. This software comes with the following features: - .NET and C libraries with application examples in C# and C - LabVIEW integration example - MATLAB integration example - RS-485 Example code (Windows and Linux) LeddarTM Sensor Evaluation Kit to scale: Discover LeddarTM Technology Leddar™ (Light-Emitting Diode Detection and Ranging) is a unique detection and ranging technology created by LeddarTech that performs time-of-flight measurement using pulses from infrared LEDs. The diffused light beam, processed through innovative algorithms, allows for the detection of a wide range of objects under various environmental conditions. Tailored to Your Needs Depending on your final application, patented LeddarTM Technology can be easily delivered in various module forms. Different models and optics options can be selected to best fit each application. Moreover, numerous operating parameters can then be adjusted to further optimize performance for particular uses. LeddarTM Receiver Assembly The Leddar™ receiver includes 16 independent segments with simultaneous acquisition capabilities. As Leddar™ Technology is offered in different formats, several beam options ranging from 9o to 95o are available. The example below refers to the evaluation kit that comes with a 45o beam. As shown, the beam width and height depend on the selected beam option. Example: 45° beam option 7.5o Height 2.8° Width Not for resale or commercial use LeddarTM Source and Control Assembly The Leddar™ source and control assembly includes IR LED emitters with dominant wavelength of 940 nm and incorporates the processing and I/O for the targeted applications. In addition, the beam of the source and control assembly is matched with the Leddar™ receiver assembly.
