Sensors and PWM Control from Linux

Explore the world of sensors and PWM control in autonomous and teleoperated vehicles through this comprehensive tutorial. Delve into the challenges of jitter, latency, and interfaces faced by hobbyists and professionals alike. Gain insights into crucial sensor systems, including gyroscopes, accelerometers, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and various range finders such as ultrasonic, infrared, and LASER-based technologies. Discover newer approaches for camera-based vision systems and learn techniques for achieving reliable PWM control using on-board mechanisms like TI programmable real-time units and offboard microcontrollers such as Arduinos and ARM Cortex-M class devices. Witness live demonstrations as a vehicle is built during the session, covering topics such as Linux in the real world, electrical interfaces, sensor characteristics, position and proximity sensors, pressure sensors, load cells, strain gauges, and PWM sources and jitter.
