YDLIDAR GS5 Linear Array Solid-State LiDAR (70~1000mm, 85° FOV, 0.54° Resolution)

The YDLIDAR GS5 is a solid-state LiDAR sensor built to excel where mechanical counterparts may falter, particularly in demanding environments. It delivers over 10,000 hours of maintenance-free operation. With a 0.54° angular resolution and an 85° wide-angle field of view, it provides a thorough perception of the surroundings. Its detection range from 70mm to 1000mm makes it suitable for tasks requiring precise measurements, while its compact size of 48.5mm × 25mm × 13.5mm ensures easy integration into various systems.

The sensor's 85° field of view facilitates comprehensive obstacle mapping. It features a minimal blind zone of 70mm, granting it the capability to detect very close objects accurately. The included Point Cloud Viewer software enhances usability by offering real-time visualization, alongside functionalities for data logging and debugging, simplifying system integration and testing procedures.

The GS5's solid-state design ensures high reliability by eliminating moving parts, which can diminish longevity. This construction choice promises a significant service life, measured at 10,000 hours of operation. With compact dimensions, the GS5 is perfect for applications where space is a constraint, and its Class I eye-safe operation makes it suitable for both consumer and industrial environments.

Featuring an angular resolution of 0.54°, the GS5 can detect objects as small as 6mm in diameter, offering high precision. It maintains accuracy within different ranges, achieving a margin of error as tight as ≤3% from 70-300mm, ≤5% from 300-600mm, and ≤8% up to 1000mm. Its capability to withstand intense sunlight (up to 25klux) allows it to perform reliably in diverse lighting conditions.

The GS5 ensures flexible system integration, communicating via a standard UART interface for compatibility with microcontrollers, PLCs, and computers. The USB adapter allows for immediate PC connection, facilitating quick evaluations. Moreover, the ability to chain three units on a single UART line is a valuable feature for scalable applications, and the available Linux SDK enables developers to craft tailored applications to meet specific needs.
