🔍 Stemedu Benewake TFmini-S Lidar TOF Micro Range Finder Sensor: Ultimate Obstacle Avoidance Solution for Pixhawk, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi Review

I bought this to measure distances with Raspberry Pi 3 B+. I was able to get it to work, but a few things to note: it cannot measure distance to water (water does not have adequate reflective properties for this laser). You don't need serial conversion if you follow online tutorials BUT you have to use a terminal to run it (can't use shell, IDLE etc). So far it's pretty accurate and a great value for the product.
