Looking for Tfmini-s Micro? Benewake TFMini-S Micro LiDAR Distance Sensor for Drones UAV UAS Robots (12m) UART is available at Zbotic with fast shipping across India.
If you need to detect obstacles but are unsure how to proceed, acquiring a Lidar sensor is the solution. Lidar is widely used for creating high-resolution maps and has applications in various fields such as surveying, geodesy, geomatics, archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, forestry, atmospheric physics, laser guidance, airborne laser swath mapping (ALSM), and laser altimetry.
The TFmini-S is an upgraded single-point ranging LiDAR from the TFmini series. Its blind zone has been reduced from 30cm to 10cm, enhancing outdoor performance and accuracy across different reflectivities. It is unaffected by ambient light, ensuring consistent distance range indoors and outdoors, with further optimized accuracy. The device nearly matches the error performance at 10% reflectivity with that at 90% reflectivity, and its interface allows for seamless switching between UART and I2C. This enables stable, precise, sensitive, and high-frequency range detection.
Note: This is the upgraded version of TF Mini.
