TFmini-i emits a narrow pulse laser, which is collimated by the transmitting lens to form a collimated light, which enters the receiving system after being reflected by the measured target and is focused on the APD detector by the receiving lens. The time between the transmitted signal and the received signal is calculated through the circuit amplification and filtering, and the distance between TFmini-i and the measured target can be calculated through the speed of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0641\/5437\/files\/E39021-content3.webp?v=1791627794\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchematic diagram of TFmini-i\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide range of input voltages (7-30V) with reverse protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRS485 interface communication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable frame rate with a maximum of 1KHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium range detection (0.1 to 12m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP65 protection for industrial application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Arduino UNO R3 and Raspberry Pi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetection of vehicle and pedestrian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle collision avoidance and safety warning systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUAV assisted takeoff and landing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAltimeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0641\/5437\/files\/E39021-content4.webp?v=1791627808\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Performance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Range:\n\u003cp\u003e      0.1-12m@90% reflectivity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e      0.1-7m@10% reflectivity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e      0.1-12m@90% reflectivity \u0026amp; 70Klux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e      0.1-7m@10% reflectivity \u0026amp; 70Klux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy: ±6cm (0.1~6m), ±1% (6~12m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistance resolution: 1cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame rate: 100Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmbient light immunity: 70Klux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: -20~60℃\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosure rating: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOptical Parameters \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight source: VCSEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentral wavelength: 850nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotobiological safety: Class1（EN60825）\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFOV (Field of view): 2°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectrical Parameters\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupply voltage: 7~30V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage current: ≤65mA@12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: ≤0.8W@12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeak current: 100mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOthers \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunication interface: RS-485\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 50mm*34mm*41mm（L*W*H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosure material: PC\/ABS\/PMMA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage temperature: -30~75℃\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 52g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable length: 70cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping List\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTFmini-i LiDAR Laser Range Sensor (12m) x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wiki.dfrobot.com\/sen0505\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Wiki\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DFRobot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67647045730381,"sku":"E39021-001","price":171.91,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0641\/5437\/files\/E39021-win1.jpg?v=1791627851","url":"https:\/\/www.mlab.com.au\/products\/tfmini-i-industrial-tof-single-point-ranging-solid-state-lidar-sensor-12m-rs485-ip65","provider":"MLAB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
