TFS20-L ToF LiDAR Sensor (20m, Sunlight Resistant, 1.35g)

Upgrade your drone or robot with the Benewake TFS20-L ToF LiDAR sensor, designed to provide precise, centimeter-level distance measurements reaching up to 20 meters, even under the harsh conditions of 100Klux direct sunlight. Weighing only 1.35 grams and smaller than a thumbnail, it offers high-frequency data capabilities up to 250Hz, enhancing performance without disturbing weight distribution or balance. This compact yet powerful sensor excels in UAV altitude maintenance, robot anti-drop functionality, and effective obstacle detection.

Despite its feather-light weight and being the size of a fingernail, the sensor manages to integrate seamlessly into designs, ensuring drones maintain their flight time and robots maintain their agility. Measuring only 21x15x7.87mm, it combines efficiency and power, making it an ideal component for advanced projects that demand mobility and precision.

Engineered for exceptional outdoor performance, the TFS20-L withstands up to 100Klux of ambient light, delivering stable and precise measurements even in the brightest sunlight where most sensors would struggle. This makes it an excellent choice for environments with varied lighting conditions, offering reliability where it is most needed.

The sensor's long-range and high-frequency capabilities allow it to measure distances up to 20 meters, with a customizable frame rate of up to 250Hz. Such attributes enable real-time navigation and expedite obstacle detection, crucial for applications that require rapid response and agility.

Offering flexibility through I2C and UART interfaces, the sensor can be integrated using the communication protocol best suited to the project. It connects effortlessly with popular platforms such as Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi, allowing versatility across a range of projects.

This fully integrated and ready-to-use sensor includes a built-in power module and temperature compensation, ensuring it functions reliably on a straightforward 3.3V power supply. This aspect reduces development time significantly, allowing quicker transitions from concept to execution.

The sensor employs a 905nm VCSEL light source that is certified Class 1, guaranteeing eye safety for both development phases and end-user applications. This ensures that the sensor remains safe and compliant, regardless of the environment or application it is used in.
