The system will consist of a Raspberry Pi, a software defined radio (SDR), and a display. The SDR will be used to receive ADS-B signals from aircraft, and the Raspberry Pi will process and display the data. The ADS-B signals are sent to FlightRadar24, a public service that tracks aircraft and displays them on a map.</p> Aidan featured image hardware project Misc http://theowlgorithm.com/en/posts/ping_pong_ball/ Wed, 30 Aug 2023 08:31:00 +0000 Wed, 30 Aug 2023 08:31:00 +0000 http://theowlgorithm.com/en/posts/ping_pong_ball/ <h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <p>For the ping pong project, it&rsquo;s important to know precisely where the ping pong ball is and at what time, so that we can predict its future position. Let&rsquo;s look over how we can do that.</p> <h2 id="art">ART</h2> <p>The ART system has cameras that emit IR light. They sell a passive marker that can then reflect that light back to the camera. A passive marker is just a sphere that has been made retroreflective by ART, with a threaded rod to attach to your part. With many of these passive markers, you can get a 6DOF position for your part, but with one all we can get is a 3DOF position. 3DOF is all we need, so that&rsquo;s fine.</p> Aidan featured image hardware project Ping Pong Project
