Figure 1: General elements of the LeddarVu module
Receiver assembly
The receiver assembly contains the photodetector array (8 elements), the circuit
receiver, and an M7 Atmel processor (MCU).
The module generates a full waveform per segment at its measurement rate.
Emitter assembly
The emitter assembly includes the emitter (LED, VSCEL, or laser), the emitter driver
circuit, and the temperature sensor.
Light source pulsing is controlled by the receiver assembly since the receiver data
acquisition must be synchronized with the light source pulses. The temperature
sensor, located near the light source, is used to implement temperature
compensation on the ranging results.
Power connection
The power connection is a 2-pin connector that provides the module with a 12 V
power source.
