Stadia Operation
The Stadia device uses an infrared (IR) LIDAR to collect distance data. This distance data is
sent via Bluetooth to the user’s smartphone and interpreted within a purpose-built app.
The Stadia device consists of 4 main parts: LIDAR, Li-ion batteries, microcontroller with
Bluetooth, and an on/off switch.
When the switch is flipped up to the “On” position, LEDs on the Microcontroller will light up.
The device is programmed so that as soon as it is powered, both the Bluetooth and the IR LIDAR
will immediately begin radiating energy in their respective wavelengths.
The Microcontroller is based on the Espressif ESP32 circuit board. The LIDAR is based on the
Garmin LIDAR Lite V3. After the device is switched Off”, the device will not power back on
for 30 seconds, regardless of the switch position (this is a quirk of the Microcontroller software).
To turn the device back on, leave the switch in the “Off” position for at least 30 seconds, and
then switch it to the “On” position.
Recharging the device is done through a micro-USB cord via the microcontroller. Battery power
is indicated via 4 LEDs on the microcontroller, with the battery percentage labeled next to each
LED (25%, 50%, 75%, 100% [green])
