The first step is to refactor the various encoder parts. They have redundant distance and velocity calculations. One of them does velocity smoothing, the others do not. - separate tachometer...

The [new encoder parts](https://github.com/autorope/donkeycar/tree/921-next-generation-odometer-parts) are almost done. Now we need closed loop speed control. We have to have closed loop speed control before we even bother with training a model...

The new encoder parts are close to being ready. This branch https://github.com/autorope/donkeycar/tree/921-next-generation-odometer-parts includes code that supports dual encoders for differential drive setups. The code also includes Arduino sketches for single-channel...

I just pushed a large set of changes that include a new Keras model that infers forward velocity and angular velocity. We now have inverse kinematics parts (both bicycle and...

We have Donkeycar 'parts' that can read data from Slamtech RP lidars. The standard template supports this and will write data to the /data file if `USE_LIDAR = True` in...

Please let us know how this turns out by adding a comment to this issue. Thanks.

@duttasantanuGH There is support for Lidar in that the data is saved. I do not think there is a model that uses it however.

@duttasantanuGH Sounds like you may be using Python 3.6? I would update to python 3.8. We have started adding type annotations in the code and they require a newer version...
