The dead zone is shortened to 10 cm, and the outdoor performance and accuracy of different reflectances are improved - Tiny Body Yet Big Wisdom: low-cost, small-size and low power consumption. Distance Resolution is 1cm, frame rate is 100Hz, ambient light immunity is 70Klux and central wavelength is 850nm - Tiny Yet Powerful: It is based on ToF (Time of Flight) principle and integrated with unique optical and electrical designs, so as to achieve stable, precise, high sensitivity and high-speed distance detection - Main Application Scenario: Pedestrian detection, vehicle detection, intelligent barrier gate and altimeter - Note: TFmini-s version is UART by default. If you need I2C, please switch by yourself. It is compatible with Raspberry Pi and Arduino - User Manual and Document: Please get the link from Product guides and documents below ## Images ![MakerFocus TFmini-s Micro LiDAR Module 0.1-12M LiDAR Range Finder Sensor Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Tiny Module Single Point UART I2C IO Compatible with Pixhawk Arduino and Raspberry Pi - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gS6IaWb7L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: è compatibile con arduino uno? esistono librerie/sketch o esempi?** A: I noticed that this sensor cannot work with objects within a distance of 30CM. To get it work on uno, I downloaded the library from the sparkfun reference: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14588 Library with a sketch example: https://github.com/opensensinglab/tfmini To make it work with the sketch example, do the following wiring: 1. Black : Ground 2. Red: 5v 3. White(TX): Pin 11 4. Green(RX): Pin 10 **Q: Can you please post a link to the documentation mentioned to connect this to a Pixhawk Cube?** A: Hi friend, here is the link: (1)Testing Demonstration Video Youtube link: https://youtu.be/ldDuT9pS1C4 (2)Github: https://github.com/TFmini. (3)more info in the manual here: http://benewake.com/en/down.html. Hope it could help you. **Q: sono disponibili librerie,skecth e esempi per arduino uno?** A: Regarding your this question: are libraries, sketches and examples for arduino one available? Sicuro. Puoi contattarci per questo da Amazon. Grazie molto! Sure. You can email us for it by Amazon. we are glad to serve you ! Many thanks! **Q: What type of connectors are on the cable?** A: Dear, one terminal of the connectors is GH1.25-4P, connecting with TFmini. And the other terminal is 1.25-4p, it's similar to Molex510210. Hope our answer can help you.
