LPB40B IP65 LiDAR 40m Distance Sensor UART

The LPB40B is a single-point LiDAR based on the DToF principle and measures distances from 0.05 to 40 m with an accuracy of ±5 cm. It also works in sunlight up to 100 klux and delivers up to 2000 measurements per second. The housing is protected to IP65, the lens is made of coated crown glass, and protective circuits against reverse polarity, overvoltage and overcurrent are built in. The readings are output via UART, for example to an Arduino with an IO expansion board.
