Lightweight and accurate

Used the TOF050C for altitude hold on a small drone. It is very lightweight which is crucial for flight time. The update rate is sufficient for smooth hovering indoors.

Perfect for my robotics project

I purchased the TOF200F model for an autonomous rover. The IIC interface was easy to integrate with my Arduino, and the distance readings are incredibly stable even in varying light conditions. Highly recommended for hobbyists.

Worked exactly as described

Bought this for a university final year project involving obstacle avoidance. It arrived quickly and worked out of the box. The range detection is precise up to the specified limits.

Good sensor, clear datasheet

Integration into our STM32 based system was straightforward. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the cable connector could be more robust for industrial vibration environments.

Reliable but needs calibration

We deployed several of these modules in a warehouse sorting system. They work well overall, though we had to perform initial calibration for maximum precision. The serial output is consistent and fast.

Great value for money

Compared to other laser sensors on the market, this module offers excellent performance at a fraction of the cost. The build quality feels solid, and the documentation provided by the seller was helpful.

5 FAQ

Q: What happens if the target is beyond the maximum range?

A: If the target exceeds the maximum measurable range, the module will output a specific error code or a maximum range value indicating 'out of range,' ensuring your system does not receive false data.

Q: Does this module support both UART and IIC simultaneously?

A: No, the module supports either UART or IIC communication depending on the configuration pin setting. Please refer to the pinout diagram in the datasheet to select your preferred interface.

Q: What is the difference between the 'C' and 'F' versions?

A: The 'C' series typically comes with a standard connector cable, while the 'F' series often features a flat flexible cable (FFC) interface. The core sensor performance remains identical across both versions.

Q: Is there a library available for Raspberry Pi?

A: Yes, there are several open-source Python libraries available on GitHub compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO for IIC communication. We can provide a link to a recommended repository upon request.

Q: Can this sensor measure through glass?

A: Laser ToF sensors generally struggle with transparent materials like clear glass because the laser passes through rather than reflecting back. It works best on opaque surfaces.
