Sensor Payload Design

Custom LIDAR and Raspberry Pi payloads designed and built in-house — the sensor package built to the inspection rather than bought off the shelf.

Also known as LIDAR, Raspberry Pi, Custom Payload

Left to right is time. Each row is one of the 4 disciplines this one worked alongside, ordered so kindred disciplines sit next to each other rather than alphabetically — a landscape only means anything if neighboring rows belong together. Height is the work running in that domain in that year, weighted by what failure would have cost — life-safety ×3, a statutory obligation ×2.2, the estate itself ×1.5, an evaluation ×1. Every project declares which of those it was, so each ridge traces to an entry you can open and disagree with. Only the work that used this technology is counted, so what shows here is the company it kept rather than the record around it. Height and color are on the record-wide scale rather than this page’s own, so a modest estate draws a modest landscape and any two of these pages can be read against each other.

Custom UAV sensor payloads designed and built in-house, including a mini low-weight LIDAR sensor device and Raspberry Pi based attached sensor devices.

Building the payload to the inspection rather than buying it off the shelf is the same instinct as designing the data center facility rather than only what runs inside it: the constraint that decides whether the job works is usually the physical one nobody drew.

Instrumented plant, metering, roadside and building devices reporting over a network — the practice the term was coined for, two decades before it had the name.
