    Description
     

    The TFMini Plus is a ToF (Time of Flight) LiDAR sensor capable of measuring the distance to an object:

    • as close as 10 centimeters (+/- 5cm up to 6m) and
    • as far as 12 meters (+/-1% starting at 6m)!

     

     

    As with all LiDAR sensors, your effective detection distance will vary depending on lighting conditions and the reflectivity of your target object, but what makes this sensor special is its size. Measuring only 35 x 18.5 x 21mm, the TFMini Plus allows you to integrate LiDAR into applications traditionally reserved for smaller sensors.

     

    Setting itself apart from the original TFmini, the TFmini Plus has been designed with an IP65 enclosure meaning its "Dust-tight & water-resistant", and also passed the vibration test of drone level, which will greatly expand its application range. The TFMini Plus is easy to power at only 5V and easy to talk to using the UART communication protocol.

     

     

    Note: This product does not use laser light for ranging. Instead, it contains an LED and optics. Many such systems are being marketed under the name "LiDAR," although it may be more appropriate to think of this device as a "Time-of-Flight Infrared Rangefinder". It differs significantly from traditional IR rangefinders in that it uses ToF to determine the range and not triangulation — as is performed by the Sharp GP-series devices.

     

    Check out this video that shows the interface with Arduino UNO compatible board and demonstrates the reading of distance using this sensor and displays it on serial monitor:

     
    Note: Not recommended for measuring the level of liquids. This is because LiDAR relies on the reflection of laser pulses off of solid objects to determine distance, and liquid surfaces are often too smooth and reflective to produce a reliable reflection.
