Updated bike radar proof-of-concept ready for testing

When I brought the bike-seat-based LIDAR prototype home for testing earlier this month, I ran into a bit of a snag: the servo had stopped working. Apparently during transport a wire had wrapped around the servo and snapped one of the gears when it was turned on. I was unfortunately unable to do any testing with it, and had to bring it back to the shop for repairs.

In addition to the servo being replaced, the software was rewritten to further clean up the accuracy of the LED board and the audio chirps. Even the LIDAR sensor has a reasonable amount of "noise" to clean up to make sure there aren't any false positives with the system. 

This latest bike radar proof-of-concept was finally finished up this week and is ready to bring home for some testing out on the road! Here's a demonstration video by the Radicand guys:
More to come soon on how it holds up once I've taken it out for a ride in traffic.
