Waveshare TOF Time of Flight Laser Range Sensor: TOF (time of flight) technology
Waveshare's TOF Time of Flight Laser Range Sensor is a game-changer when it comes to measuring distances with pinpoint accuracy, thanks to its cutting-edge TOF (time of flight) tech. Whether you're working indoors or braving the great outdoors, this little powerhouse can measure up to 25m or even 50m (if you go for the optional upgrade) with a margin of error that's just +/-3cm. Talk about precision! It plays nice with UART and I2C, so hooking it up is a breeze. And with its ultra-narrow field of view (FOV), it's not just about distance—it's about doing it without getting thrown off by pesky light interference. 🌞🌙
Here's the lowdown on what makes it tick:
- It can measure from as close as 0.05m all the way up to 25m or 50m, depending on your model.
- Accuracy? A mere +/-3cm—because close enough isn't good enough.
- Emits light at 905nm, because why not?
- With a field of view of just 1-2 degrees, it's like the sensor version of a laser-focused workaholic.
- You've got options for communication: UART (TTL signal line level 3.3V) or I2C, because flexibility is key.
- Power it with anything from 4.3V to 5.2V—it's not picky.
- And it'll keep chugging along in temperatures from -10 to 60 degrees Celsius, because it's tough like that.
Whether you're building a robot that needs to dodge obstacles, figuring out how high your ceiling is, or measuring material levels, this sensor's got your back. 🚀🤖
