Results of the development of software and hardware for automation of lidar measurements

Abstract

The results of development of an adjustment block for regulating the angular position of output mirror of a lidar in a semi-automatic mode are presented. The possibility of implementing an adjustment block using economical, widely used electronic components, such as an Arduino board and stepper motors, as well as 3D-printed mounting components, is shown. Appropriate software was developed to control this unit. The program for the automatic formation of a tuning curve of the laser with parametric generation of light and the program for the automatic measurement of the dependence of the pulse energy on the generation wavelength was developed.
