Waveshare TOF Laser Range Sensor (C)

The Waveshare TOF Laser Range Sensor (C) is a high-precision laser distance sensor based on TOF (Time of Flight) technology. With an integrated microcontroller and range determination algorithm, this sensor is capable of determining the distance to an object (up to 25 m) using a laser pulse, which provides fast and accurate measurements (accuracy ±3 cm). It is ideal for applications that require reliable and accurate distance control, such as robotics (robot avoidance of obstacles), automation, intelligent control systems (route planning, drone altitude, tank level, etc.), and industrial projects. The sensor is compact, energy-efficient, and easy to integrate into a variety of systems.

Key features:

• Time of Flight (TOF) technology: provides fast and reliable measurements using a laser pulse.
• Measuringrange: measuring range up to 25 meters with high accuracy.
• Compact design: small size allows for easy integration even in tight spaces.
• Wide compatibility: suitable for use with a variety of platforms and controllers, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and others.
• Low power consumption: allows the sensor to be used in portable and mobile projects.
• Accuracy and reliability in variable lighting conditions: high resistance to light interference due to the ultra-narrow FOV, suitable for use both indoors and outdoors. Resistance to ambient light is up to 100K LUX.
