TFmini Plus - ToF LIDAR Range Finder

The TFmini Plus is a LIDAR distance sensor which can emit near-infrared rays and measure the phase difference between the emitting rays and reflected rays to calculate the distance through ToF. Because of the LIDAR principle, it is hard to give an accurate distance between the transparent objects like water or glass. However, it is still a sensitive distance sensor in measuring the moving object and calculates the distance between the object and TFmini in real-time.

This distance sensor leaves an I2C and UART interface for developers and you can simply plug TFmini through the TTL to USB converter to the PC and get the distance data on your computer.

• High Sensitivity: Emits near-infrared ray and catches the reflected ray which can give the response in a short time.
• High Precision: ToF method is used to calculate the phase difference between the emitting and reflected rays to measure the distance. The accuracy is ±5cm for 0.1-6m range and ±1% for 6m-12m range.
• Selectable Interface: I2C and UART interface for developers to choose from.
