Read Article →This is a mid-range Single Point Lidar Sensor that can sense obstacles up to 12m with a resolution of 1cm. It comes with UART Output and can be directly connected to Microcontrollers and PLC.
Lidar stands for “Light Detection and Ranging.” It is an active remote sensing technology, that measures the time it takes for each laser pulse to bounce back from an obstacle to calculate the distance.
TFmini-S is a single-point ranging LiDAR based on the ToF (time of flight) principle. It is designed for level detection, with a 40m detection range and cm-level detection accuracy. The sensor manages the distance calculation and directly outputs the readings through UART. The host microcontroller can read the distance value with no processing required. This makes it plug-and-play, easy and simple to integrate with existing systems. In addition, the product itself has higher distance measurement accuracy with the blind zone shortened to 10cm, It can work in different outdoor environments such as strong light, different temperatures, and different reflectances.
The sensor can output up to 1000 readings per second. It can detect points up to 40m with an accuracy of 1% and has a narrow FoV of 3°.
It operates on 5V and can be connected to a microcontroller, PLC, or computer through a UART interface. Please refer to the development manual under the Technical Details Tab for the detailed commands and responses by the sensor.
Benewake also provides GUI software to test and use the sensor. The software can display live sensor readings, log readings and also debug messages. Use this software as a plug-and-play option to test and evaluate the sensor for your application.
