Ultra-Compact ToF Laser Ranging Sensor (7.8m, 1 gram)

The ToF Laser Ranging Sensor operates using advanced dToF technology, emitting 940nm laser pulses to achieve highly precise distance measurements up to 7.8 meters, with a remarkable accuracy of ±4cm. Its design significantly reduces issues caused by environmental interference, capable of resisting ambient light levels up to 100,000 lux. This adaptability ensures seamless integration with Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and ESP32 systems via versatile UART/I2C interfaces, elevating its functionality across diverse applications.

Remarkably compact, the sensor measures only 19×12×10.3mm and weighs just one gram, standing as one of the most miniature and lightweight dToF solutions available. This ultra-small footprint facilitates its incorporation into micro-drones, wearable technology, and robotic systems, eliminating the constraints of traditional bulky components. The optimized size supports applications requiring minimal space, such as micro-drone navigation or gesture control features in compact devices like smartwatches.

Equipped with a rapid 50Hz refresh rate, the sensor provides instantaneous distance data vital for environments needing swift responsiveness. This capability is particularly beneficial for drone navigation, preventing obstacles in real-time, or ensuring efficiency on industrial conveyor systems. A narrow 2-3° field of view sharpens its focus, reducing ambient interferences and background disruptions to maintain consistent data quality in varied lighting conditions.

The sensor's robust design extends to its ability to operate under intense lighting, equivalent to full direct sunlight. This makes it an ideal candidate for outdoor settings like traffic monitoring and construction areas. With sophisticated noise-filtering algorithms, it outperforms expectations in dynamic environments, providing reliable readings essential for accurate vehicle speed assessment or consistent material level evaluation in industrial applications.
