For this project, we’re going to use a LiDARsensor offered by SparkFun Electronics. SparkFun provides a pre-defined Arduino library for the sensor, which is ideal. The company offers two variants of LiDAR (that are distinguished based on updated speed bases).
This tutorial is all about Interfacing of TFMini-S Micro LiDAR Distance Sensor with Arduino. This tutorial also covers a brief idea about LiDAR Technology & the Working & Applications of LiDAR.
It cost less than £30 to build ($40) and has a diameter of only 30mm (1.18"). It uses two sensors, diametrically opposed to each other, to double the scanning rate, and is suitable for mounting on top of a small robot. All parts are 3D printed and are suitable for small 3D printers too.
In this tutorial you will learn how to use the TF-Luna Laser Range Distance Sensor with an Arduino or any other common microcontroller (ESP32/ESP8266) to measure distances. The TF-Luna is a compact and accurate LiDAR/Proximity sensor that measures distances of up to 8 meters. It uses infrared laser light and the Time-of-Flight (ToF) principle.
This sensor is easy to use, and its breakout board is also available in the market. The VL53L0X breakout board has only four pins and you can directly interface it with Arduino and other microcontrollers due to the presence of level shifters.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to connect to the TFMini using an Arduino microcontroller. The TFMini is a ToF (Time of Flight) LiDARsensor capable of measuring the distance to an object as close as 30 centimeters a… To follow along with this tutorial, you will need the following materials.
One of the widely used low-cost yet accurate LiDARsensors is the TFMini-S. This tutorial will show you how to interface the TFMini-S module with an Arduino to perform high-accuracy distance measurements, but first, a brief introduction to LiDAR. What is LiDAR and How does it Work?
This repository houses all the necessary resources to build your very own budget-friendly 3D rotating LiDARsensor. Equipped with this sensor, you can capture a comprehensive 360° environmental view at a scan rate of 2 Hz.
