5m TOF Sense Laser Range Sensor

This TOF sensor is a TOF-based (Time of Flight) laser range finder with a detection range of 1cm to 5m, a resolution of 1mm, an error of +- 1.5 cm, and a data update frequency of 10Hz. The sensor supports adjustable FOV ranging from 15° to 27°, UART and CAN communication (selection by setting). With a dimension of only 35.58 x 12 x 8.05mm, this small and compact sensor can be used as a distance measuring device for distance detection, as a robot for obstacle avoidance, and also in drone areas such as altitude adjustment and route planning. The difference from other TOF sensors is that this sensor has two identical communication interfaces. The IDs for the sensor can be set. Thus, you can connect multiple sensors (up to 8) in series and read out the distance information of all sensors through just one communication interface.
