Solid performance, clear documentation

We deployed ten units for warehouse inventory tracking. The serial output is stable. Only minor issue was initial calibration took some time, but support helped resolve it quickly.

Exceeded expectations

I was worried about outdoor usage, but it handles sunlight better than expected. The build quality feels robust, and the pinout is clearly labeled on the PCB.

Lightweight and reliable

Used this for altitude hold on a custom drone build. It responds quickly and the data stream is consistent. Highly recommend for aerial applications within its range.

Perfect for robotics projects

I purchased the 200F model for an autonomous rover project. The MODBUS integration was seamless with my PLC setup. Accuracy is impressive even in varying light conditions.

Great value for long-range sensing

The 400F model reaches distances we couldn't achieve with ultrasonic sensors. The IIC interface makes it easy to connect to Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards.

Good protocol flexibility

Being able to switch between UART and MODBUS without hardware changes is a huge plus. The measurement frequency is sufficient for our conveyor belt monitoring system.

5 FAQ

Q: Does the module come with a protective lens cover?

A: The module ships with a standard protective film on the lens. For harsh industrial environments, we recommend purchasing our optional IP65-rated housing accessory separately.

Q: Can I daisy-chain multiple sensors on one IIC bus?

A: Yes, the IIC interface supports multiple devices. You will need to configure unique addresses for each sensor using our configuration tool or serial commands before connecting them to the same bus.

Q: Is there a Python library available for Raspberry Pi integration?

A: Yes, we provide a sample Python script for UART communication on our GitHub repository. It covers basic distance reading and configuration for the TOF series modules.

Q: What is the maximum update rate for the 400F model?

A: The maximum configurable sampling frequency is 100Hz. However, at maximum range (400m), the effective rate may be slightly lower depending on signal strength and environmental conditions.

Q: Can this sensor measure transparent glass accurately?

A: While ToF technology is advanced, measuring highly transparent or reflective surfaces like clear glass can sometimes result in inconsistent readings. We recommend testing with your specific target or applying a matte tape to the surface for best results.
