DIY Position Tracking Using HTC Vive's Lighthouse
From Alexander Shtuchkin:
Code & schematics for position tracking sensor using HTC Vive's Lighthouse system and a Teensy board.
- General purpose indoor positioning sensor, good for robots, drones, etc.
- 3d position accuracy: currently ~10mm; less than 2mm possible with additional work.
- Update frequency: 30 Hz
- Output formats: Text; Mavlink ATT_POS_MOCAP via serial; Ublox GPS emulation (in works)
- HTC Vive Station visibility requirements: full top hemisphere from sensor. Both stations need to be visible.
- Positioning volume: same as HTC Vive, approx up to 4x4x3 meters.
- Cost: ~$10 + Teensy 3.2 ($20) (+ Lighthouse stations (2x $135))
- Skills to build: Low complexity soldering; Embedded C++ recommended for integration to your project.

BLE2 Series Brushless Motor & Driver
The BLE2 Series replaces our popular BLE Series and continues our brushless motor advantages by featuring an all new compact, high-power and high-efficiency brushless DC motor combined with a Driver that can be digitally set and controlled via external DC voltage or by the front panel.
The BLE2 Series can easily compete with larger 3-phase inverter driven motors in many more applications, with built-in simple holding torque function, saving space and increasing performance thanks to the advantages of a brushless motor design. The BLE2 Series has a maximum speed of 4000 r/min, achieving a speed ratio of 1:50 (80 to 4000 r/min). The new motor structure is small than previous models and enables high power and high efficiency while incorporating easy setting, installation and wiring. The new motor connector offers IP66 degree of protection and allows for easy and direct connection between motor and driver with two available orientation of cable outlet direction.
