TFmini singlepoint micro Lidar range finder sensor module A compact Lidar detector designed for precise singlepoint distance measurement in embedded projects. The TFmini module provides simple, reliable distance sensing for microcontroller and flight controller applications, making it easier to add obstacle detection, proximity sensing, or distance feedback to robots, smart cars, and drones. Key benefits Compact form factor and lightweight design fit into tight spaces on robots, drones, and small vehicles. Singlepoint ranging simplifies integration when you need a focused distance measurement rather than a full scanning system. Simple wiring and standard communication make it easy to connect to Arduino, Pixhawk, and similar microcontroller or flight controller platforms. Fast, repeatable distance readings support responsive obstacle avoidance and realtime control. Low integration effort reduces development time for prototypes and production projects. What it does and how it solves common problems Provides reliable distance measurements to detect obstacles, measure clearance, and trigger control actions without complex optics or moving parts. Helps systems that need continuous proximity feedback maintain safe operation in dynamic environments. Replaces bulky or powerhungry distance sensors in spaceconstrained designs while retaining practical accuracy and responsiveness. Important attributes Function: Singlepoint Lidar distance measurement for short to medium range sensing needs. Compatibility: Designed to interface with Arduino boards, Pixhawk flight controllers, and most microcontrollers that accept standard serial or pulse inputs. Size: Micro module footprint suitable for compact installations on robots, smart cars, drones, and embedded systems. Build: Robust, enclosed sensor module for stable environmental performance in typical electronics projects. Performance: Quick sampling and stable output suitable for realtime control loops and obstacle detection tasks. Typical applications Small mobile robots and smart cars: Use for front or side obstacle detection and simple autonomous navigation in indoor and limited outdoor environments. Drones and multirotor aircraft with Pixhawk: Provide altitude hold support, lowaltitude obstacle sensing, or landing assistance where a singlepoint distance sensor is sufficient. Automation and measurement: Integrate into conveyor monitoring, level detection, or proximitytriggered control systems in workshops and light industrial setups. Integration notes Provides a straightforward interface for microcontrollers and flight controllers. Typical installation requires minimal wiring and basic configuration to start receiving distance data. Ideal for developers and makers seeking a compact, singlepoint Lidar option that balances size, ease of use, and performance. The TFmini singlepoint micro Lidar range finder is a practical choice when you need accurate, responsive distance sensing without the complexity of scanning Lidar. It is optimized for embedded projects where space, weight, and simple integration are priorities.
