TFmini-S ToF Single-Point Ranging Solid State LiDAR Sensor (12m, UART / I2C)

The TFmini-S is a unidirectional laser range Lidar based upon time-of-flight (ToF) technology. It consists of special optical and electronic devices, which integrates adaptive algorithm for indoor and outdoor application environment. It has tiny body and high performance in distance measurement. 

Mini Size

The TFmini-S single-point solid state LiDAR's size is only 42x15x16mm and its weight is only 5g, this mini size allows you to integrate it into small applications.

High Performance

The TFMini-S is a upgraded ToF Single-Point LiDAR based on the TFmini.

Blind zone is shortened to 10cm

No fear of ambient light

Supports up to 1000Hz output

UART, I²C communication interfaces switchable at any time

Easy to Get Start

TFmini-S lidar sensor adopts UART (TTL) / I2C communication interface, can supplied by standard 5V, and its average power consumption is 0.6w. It can be compatible with a variety of Arduino controllers. With the DFRobot Gravity IO Expansion Shield, Arduino can be plugged in directly without additional wiring.
It can be easily integrated into the system when used with the Arduino library developed by DFRobot.

Detection Distance

The maximum detection distance of TFmini-S solid-state lidar is 12 meters. FOV of 2 degrees. Its anti-interference is strong, and can work in outdoor light.

NOTE:

The product may be invalid when probing objects with high reflectivity, such as mirrors and smooth tiles.

When there are transparent objects, such as glass and water, between the product and the tested object, it may become invalid.

Do not touch the circuit board with your bare hands. If necessary, please wear an electrostatic wristband or antistatic gloves.
