This unit spins, taking a distance reading every degree and outputting the data continuously over a 8n1, 115200bd TTL communication line.<br><br>The MISL system is purpose built boards that can be stacked together and share a common bus in a small form factor. This bridges the gap between general purpose systems like the Raspberry Pi or teensy micro-controller and purpose built systems that would have little use outside its intended purpose. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ryanbeagles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0337.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>An output screen was also included to aid in understanding how the software saw the information.
