How sensitive is the distance output? to the millimeter?

[PhiloYT]

@ghostalin

Much better, resolution is about 0.005mm! Of course precision is lower because of mechanical flexibility, something around 0.1mm

[ghostalin]

@PhiloYT

Damn!

Using only the NXT packaged distance sensor?

I'm considering buying some lego mindstorms, would you say that its worth it?

Where should I start?

[PhiloYT]

@ghostalin

No, the distance sensor resolution is indeed 1cm. You may find many more details on this project here on the write-up page listed in video details.

Definitely yes, it's worth it ;o) You may contact me by email using the address listed at bottom of my "philohome" webpage.

@ghostalin it all depends on how you know your maths and logic. nxt is all logic based

dude

i want!

[PhiloYT]

It takes several hours to scan each side (but the scanner works on itself!). Reconstructing the shape (alignment, filtering...) takes about one hour, less when you get used to Meshlab.
