Usage Example on Upper PC

Hardware Preparation

CE30-C Area Array Laser Radar x 1
Raspberry Pi 4B x1
CE30-C Upper Computer x 1

Software Preparation

Download and unzip CE30-C Host

Operation Steps:

1. Connection with PC (Powered at 12V DC)
   
2. Change IP address and Subnet mask as below:
   
3. Check if the data connection is ok. Open CMD by Windows and run: ping 192.168.1.80 (It is OK when displayed as the Image below.)
   
   Note: 192.168.1.80 is the initial IP address of CE30-c radar. If the radar IP address is reset in the process of use, the relevant part of IP address in the above steps should also be revised accordingly. For example, when reset the radar IP to 192.168.2.1, you need to change the IP address of the device connected to the radar to 192.168.2.XXX.
4. Download and unzip CE30-C Host, double click CE30_Display_Release_2.3.exe to open the host. When the following control windows appeared, input IP address of CE30-C radar. Press "Enter" and then select to press key "1" , then there will be two windows appearing, one for point cloud data, the other for flat data.
   
   
5. The outline of the object detected within the measuring range can be seen by the flat data windows and point cloud data windows. And the point cloud image window displays the point cloud image in radar field of view calculated according to the relation of depth map and projection. In this window, hold the left mouse button down and drag to change the viewing direction of the point cloud image; roll the mouse wheel to zoom in/out point cloud image; click the right mouse button to reset the viewing angle of the point cloud image to the initial position. Click the pixel point in the flat data to display the coordinates of the corresponding object and the distance from the radar in the data display window. (Unit: cm)
   
6. Keyboard Shortcuts :
   
   • A: zoom out point cloud
   • D: zoom in point cloud
   • O: record depth image and signal strength data before and after distortion correction, and store in host PC catelogue.
   • P: pause data record
   • C: change LiDAR's IP address
   • H: print key help
   • Q: LiDAR exit working status and disconnect with host PC
   • 1: adjust point cloud to top view
   • 2: adjust point cloud to left side view
   • 3: adjust point cloud to oblique view(from upper left)
   • R: rest viewing position(default to be device's position)
7. Indicator Image:
   
   • Keep on in blue: ready to connect and work
   • Blink in blue: working
   • Blink in red: missing relevant operation files
   • Keep on in red: severe error(abnormal signal, abnormal interface communication)
