Benewake TFmini Plus LiDAR Range Finder, 0.1-12m, IP65, UART/I2C, for Arduino and Pixhawk

Benewake TFmini-S / TFmini Plus Lidar Range Finder Sensor UART IIC Low-power Single-Point Micro Ranging Module for Arduino Pixhawk ESP32 Description of TFmini-S New Upgrade TFmini-S Lidar Range Finder Sensor Module 0.1-12m TOF Single Point Micro Ranging for Arduino Pixhawk Drone UART & IIC 0.1-12m TFmini-S is upgrade version of TFmini. Compare with TFmini,TFmini-S has these advantages : ① The blind zone of it is reduced from 30cm to 10cm. ② Interface supports UART and I2C switching at any time. ③ Light source is VCSEL. ④ FOV is better. TFmini-S is 2°(TFmini is 2.3°). ⑤ Same Price with better performance. Upgrade Overview TFmini-S is a single-point ranging Lidar based on TFmini upgrade. The blind zone of it is reduced from 30cm to 10cm, the outdoor ranging performance is further improved, the distance range is not disturbed by ambient light, which can be consistent with the indoor range, and the accuracy is further optimized. The error performance at 10% reflectivity approaches the background of 90% reflectivity, and the interface supports UART and I2C switching at any time. Specification: Operating Range : 0.1-12m Maximum operating range at 10% reflectivity : 5m Applicable voltage range : 4.5-6V Average power consumption : 0.12W FOV : 2° Communication interface : UART/I2C Electromagnetic Compatibility(EMC):EN 55032 Class B Baud rate:115200 Data bit:8 Stop bit:1 Parity bit:0 Minimum resolution ratio : 5mm Frequency: 100Hz(1-1000Hz adjustable) Light source:VCSEL Wavelength:850nm Operating temperature : 20-60C Light sensitivity : 70,000lux Accuracy : 1% (less than 6m), 2% (6m-12m) Size : 42mm • 15mm • 16mm Weight : 6.1g Certification:CE,FCC,ROHS Major Applications: Traffic Monitoring Obstacle detection Level measurement Smart device Security and obstacle avoidance Drone altitude holding and terrain following Machine control and safety sensors Distance measuring instrument Technical Specifications and Parameters Product Appearance and Structure Configurable parameters Connection: FAQ Q1: Is TFmini-S available with 3.3V or other power supply voltage? A1: Sorry, it is not available for the time being. The Standard power supply of TFmini-S is 5V±0.1V. If you have any further requirement, please contact our sales person to consult a customization design matter. Is it broken? A2: This is the normal operating condition of the product. The temperature of the chip and circuit board will slightly up after a continuous operation, which is a normal case. A3: Yes, it can. TFmini-S adopts serial communication protocol so that it can connect to any control board supporting serial port communication. Description of TFmini Plus TFmini Plus, based on TFmini, is a single-point short-range LiDAR. Inherited low cost, small size and low power consumption from TFmini, TFmini Plus has greatly improved its performance — increasing the measurement frequency, reducing blind zone and improving accuracy. Meanwhile, TFmini Plus introduces IP65 enclosures and optimizes various compensation algorithms, which will greatly expand its application fields and scenarios.
