GPG Testing Distance Sensor

Testing GoPiGo’s Distance Sensor which uses a small laser to determine the distance to an object. The sensor uses the Time of Flight method for a very fast and accurate distance reading. I programmed a python script to test the sensor capabilities and also developed a simple “bump n go” algorithm, code can be found here

Test

Bump N Go

FPGA (LEDs still pending)

Still havent figured out whats wrong with my IceStudio module. I’ll have to contact IceStudio support/developers to finally fix this issue or maybe figure a different approach to test my SPI LED verilog module.
