Hokuyo_URG-04LX-UG01_ with NI-MyRIO

[AishaRadwan]

Good Afternoon, 

I am using MyRio and  URG-04LX-UG01 together and trying to get the distance of the obstacle, but the URG-04LX-UG01 is only giving me magnitudes and directions with a very huge size of array. 

I tried to get the distance with practical way to get an equation that represent a relation between the magnitude and distance. but that did not work since the magnitudes were almost the same in all cases. 

Any idea how to get the distance ?

Thanks

Can you post a screen shot of what the front panel looks like when you run it? I am unable to see what you mean because I do not have the hardware to run the code. 

Have you tried adjusting the Acquire Data.vi to adjust the size of the data array?

Hello,  dmysliwiec13, 

Attached the picture of the front panel, the plot describes the obstacles in-front of the Hokuyo_URG-04LX-UG01. 

Yes, I changed the start point and the end point then the size of the array has been change. 

Thanks, 

Appreciate your response.

I am a bit confused, it doesn't seem like the array size is very large for the direction and magnitude; it only looks like one number. The values of what is in the array however seem large. Maybe I am misunderstanding your question. What are you wanting to see exactly?
