WELCOME

The distance sensor prototyped here ( Practical use case: Distance sensor (PoC) ) is about to be released in version 2606 EAP. The concept stays the same. It calculates the dot product of the sensor's normal vector and the minimal distance vector from the part to the sensor. The dot product is then used to check if the part is located in front of the sensor and if the part lays within the sensor's field of view. If both conditions are met the minimal distance to the part is

Sensors implemented with SCL are nice to have but we currently cannot show any graphical indication of their detection range or field of view. This would help us understand better how they work. The LiDAR sensor does it already but the logic there is not reusable. What if we could manipulate some primitive geometrical shapes straight out from the SCL code? Imagine that we can render a sphere indicating the RFID sensor range for example. Also we can render a cone indicating t

Now that we have the distance sensor available, we can extend its usage and implement a velocity sensor (radar). Just like the distance...
