- 2026-09-05SensorsBuilding a Pure-Python ROS 2 Driver for the YDLIDAR X2This is a pure-Python driver and ROS 2 Jazzy package that reads the LiDAR, decodes complete revolutions, publishes sensor_msgs/msg/LaserScan messages, creates the required TF transform, and launches RViz with a saved…4 min
- 2026-08-30SensorsBuilding a TF-Luna ROS 2 Driver: From UART Bytes to a Live /range TopicI built a Python driver and ROS 2 Jazzy node for the Benewake TF-Luna LiDAR, starting with raw nine-byte UART frames and ending with live distance measurements on a standard sensor_msgs/Range topic. This project…7 min
- 2026-07-21AerialDrone Log #2: Building and Validating an Autonomous Drone with Object TrackingFlight test: the drone detects the red ball and autonomously performs an orbit around it using onboard vision and control software.6 min
- 2026-06-16AerialAutonomous Drone: Object Tracking using ROS2, YOLO Detection, PX4, a Raspberry Pi 4, and the Pixhawk 6C.In this project, I developed an autonomous target-tracking system for a drone using a custom-trained YOLOv8n object detection model and the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2) . The goal was to have a drone autonomously…6 min
