I'm looking for someone to write code for a laser range finder that I purchased.
Scope of Work:
- Write working Arduino code that allows the distance to be read and displayed in the Serial monitor
- Distance measured in meters
- Distance is read continually or only by a push of a button
Laser Range finder:
Brand: Hi-AT technology 50 meter
Laser range finder model: LDB6
Link to similar model : https://www.aliexpress.com/i/2251832606453915.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt
I tried attaching the manual as a PDF that came with the Laser Range finder but as a new user I am not allowed to attach files yet. If interested in the job I will email it to you or update this form when privilege's to upload attachments are allowed.
Payment: Will be negotiated with those interested in completing the work based on skill level and expected time frame of completion.
The following ebay listing has the same laser range finder and gives also has the manual and all info that comes with the laser in the description.
Still now able to post attachments yet... hence the needed ebay link
Here is the problem. It's not a simple as you suggest. The Arduino MUST know the exact microsecond the laser pulse was created and must receive from SOME unknown device when the reflected light pulse is received, also in microseconds. Please work on those two aspects and then perhaps someone can help.
Nope. The eBay listing is for several different range finders, none of which appear to be related to the one in your first post.

The code base from Ladyada is how one would approach the big sensor, but
and
Would need review against a real datasheet and validation on the bench to match project requirements.
It could be easier to interface a pre-made module:

or maybe just purchase something close ...

Does it have 13 connectors like in this diagram?
The page I got that from says 19200 baud.
This page also says 19200:
Function: send capital letters "O" to open the laser, capital letters "C" to close the laser, capital letters "D" for measuring distance, capital letters "S" to view the module temperature and power supply
The one I have has connectors "7-13". However my "1-6" connector row has 8 connections, two extra.
The data sheet that came with mine also states 19200 Baud.
