TFLuna ToF Distance Sensor 0.2–8m LiDAR Ranging Module with Dual Interface for Robots and Drones

precision TimeofFlight distance sensor for compact embedded projects. Delivers accurate, repeatable measurements with a 0.2 m to 8 m range, 1 cm resolution, and accuracy of +/6 cm from 0.2 m to 3 m or +/2% from 3 m to 8 m. Key benefits Accurate sensing: ToF measurement gives stable, resolution distance data for navigation, object detection, and measurement tasks. Easy integration: Dual interfaces support UART (default 115200 bps) and I2C (slave mode, default address 0x10) to connect directly to common hosts such as Raspberry Pi and STM32. Low power operation: Operates from 3.7 V to 5.2 V with average current of 70 mA or less and power consumption up to 0.35 W, suitable for batterypowered and portable systems. Spacesaving form factor: Small and lightweight at 35 mm x 21.25 mm x 12.5 mm and weighing less than 5 g, making it simple to embed in spaceconstrained designs. Configurable behavior: Multiple operating modes including Trigger Mode, On/Off Output Mode, Power Saving (ECO) Mode, and programmable distance limits via simple commands for flexible application tuning. Technical highlights Measurement range: 0.2 m to 8 m Accuracy: +/6 cm (0.2 m to 3 m), +/2% (3 m to 8 m) Resolution: 1 cm Communication: UART (115200 bps default), I2C slave (default address 0x10) Power: 3.7 V to 5.2 V, average current <= 70 mA, power <= 0.35 W Size and weight: 35 mm x 21.25 mm x 12.5 mm, less than 5 g Typical applications Mobile robots and drones: Reliable obstacle detection and distance feedback for navigation and collision avoidance where weight and size matter. Smart devices and IoT sensors: Presence detection, object counting, or shortrange measurement in batterypowered products using low power modes. Industrial automation and level sensing: Noncontact distance monitoring with configurable limits for conveyor systems or simple proximity switches. Compatibility and integration notes Works with common controllers and development boards supporting UART or I2C, including Raspberry Pi and STM32 platforms. Default communication settings allow immediate testing; parameters and thresholds can be adjusted with simple serial or I2C commands. This compact ToF module provides accurate distance measurement, low power use, and flexible interface options for embedded sensing, automation, and portable applications.
