TFmini-S is a single-point ranging LiDAR based on the ToF (time of flight) principle. It is designed for level detection, with a 40m detection range and cm-level detection accuracy. The sensor manages the distance calculation and directly outputs the readings through UART. The host microcontroller can read the distance value with no processing required. This makes it plug and play, easy and simple to integrate with existing systems. In addition, the product itself has higher distance measurement accuracy with the blind zone shortened to 10cm, It can work in different outdoor environments such as strong light, different temperatures, and different reflectances. 

The sensor is capable of outputting up to 1000 reading per second. It can detect points up to 40m with an accuracy of 1%. The sensor comes with a narrow FoV of 3°.

It operates on 5V and can connect to a microcontroller, PLC, computer through UART interface. Please go through the development manual under the Technical Details Tab for the detailed commands and responses by the sensor.

Benewake also provides a GUI software to test and use the sensor. The software can display live sensor reading, log readings and also debug messages. Use this software as a plug and play option to test and evaluate the sensor for your application.
