Review on TF-Luna Lidar Sensor for Drone/Robot Obstacle Avoidance - Short-Range Distance Single-Point Ranging Finder Module with UART / I2C Compatibility for Pixhawk and Raspberry Pi - SmartFly Info by Adam Bates

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Extremely accurate best in security and surveillance

Used for a distance meter with an Arduino Nano. It is extremely accurate, reading just over 39 feet. Unlike an ultrasonic distance sensor, it measures the maximum distance when out of range. The only downside is that it's difficult to read in a very dusty environment. Also when used at a great distance from the Arduino (30-40 feet) it doesn't read, so I had to design the sensor next to the Arduino and power the LCD myself. Finding the code took a while.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
