MIKROE TFmini Plus Click Bundle

TFmini Click Bundle: This bundle gives you everything you need to take high-accuracy distance measurements. It allows users to combine TFmini Plus LiDAR Sensor, a high-accuracy ToF (Time of Flight) LiDAR sensing solution from Benewake, with TFmini Click to measure an object’s distance.

With this bundle, you’ll be able to easily add high accuracy distance measurements that use laser light for ranging to your future projects.

TFmini Plus LiDAR sensor measures the distance to an object as close as 10 centimeters and as far as 12 meters without any problem. Apart from low-cost, small-size, and low-power consumption, TFmini Plus also improves the frame rate, uses a UART interface for communication with the MCU, introduces IP65 enclosures, and optimizes various compensation algorithms. As with all LiDAR sensors, the 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.

The TFmini Plus LiDAR sensor does not use laser light for ranging. Instead, it contains an integrated LED and optics, which is why they are marked under the name “LiDAR.” However, it may be more appropriate to consider this device as a “Time-of-Flight Infrared Rangefinder” (uses ToF to determine the range and not triangulation). This sensor can be connected to the existing TFmini Click board™ through a 1×4 1.25mm pitch connector.
