Description

The HPS-167U-L utilizes a VCSEL laser emitter and advanced Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology to deliver fast, accurate, and stable distance readings. Its high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and embedded compensation algorithms ensure reliable performance across varying environmental conditions, including changes in ambient light and temperature.

Housed in a durable ABS and aviation aluminum casing, this sensor is built for demanding applications. The TTL UART serial interface provides easy integration with microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32), industrial PLCs, and single-board computers, outputting a comprehensive data packet for system control and monitoring.

Key Features

  • High-Precision VCSEL ToF Core: Employs a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser for accurate, long-range distance measurement with minimal beam divergence.
  • Environmental Compensation Engine: Onboard algorithms dynamically correct for ambient infrared interference, temperature drift, and target reflectivity.
  • Configurable Output Rate: User-selectable or automatically adaptive data refresh rate from 6Hz to 54Hz to balance speed and power consumption.
  • Industrial-Grade Durability: Waterproof enclosure constructed from ABS plastic and aviation-grade aluminum alloy for mechanical and environmental protection.
  • Comprehensive Data Output: Serial data stream includes measured distance, accuracy confidence, signal strength, ambient IR level, and internal temperature.
  • Low Power Operation: Features a quiescent power consumption of only 0.1W, with a maximum draw of 1.3W during active ranging.

Applications

  • Drone altitude holding, soft-landing assistance, and forward collision avoidance systems.
  • Security system perimeter monitoring and intrusion detection via distance profiling.
  • Industrial automation for empty pallet racking or storage bay detection.
  • Robotics navigation and obstacle avoidance for AGVs and mobile platforms.
  • Construction and surveying for non-contact height difference and level measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol and how do I connect this sensor to an Arduino?

The sensor uses a standard TTL UART serial interface (TX, RX, GND, VCC). To connect to an Arduino, link the sensor's TX pin to an Arduino RX pin (e.g., digital pin 0 or a SoftwareSerial pin), the sensor's RX pin to an Arduino TX pin, and provide 5V power and ground. Ensure the logic levels are compatible as the sensor's UART operates at TTL levels suitable for 5V or 3.3V microcontrollers.

What is the actual operating voltage range, and can I power it directly from a 5V USB port?

The specified operating voltage is DC 4V to 6V. A regulated 5V supply, such as from a microcontroller's 5V pin or a stable USB power bank, is within the ideal range and perfectly suitable. Avoid using unregulated or lithium battery voltages above 6V without proper regulation, as this could damage the sensor's internal circuitry.

How does the adaptive data output rate work, and can I set a fixed frequency?

The adaptive rate (6-54Hz) allows the sensor to optimize performance based on conditions, potentially saving power. Configuration for a fixed output rate or to enable/disable adaptive mode is typically done by sending specific command frames over the UART interface. Consult the official Hypersen datasheet or communication protocol document for the exact command structure to configure the output frequency.

Is this sensor suitable for outdoor use, and what does 'waterproof' entail?

Yes, the ABS and aviation aluminum housing provides environmental sealing. While the specific IP rating is not stated, this construction offers significant protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for outdoor applications like drones and security systems. For prolonged submersion or high-pressure washdown, verify the exact IP rating from the manufacturer's full specifications.

What data is included in the UART output packet?

Each data packet transmitted over UART contains multiple data fields: the primary measured distance (in meters or centimeters), a confidence/accuracy indicator for that reading, the strength of the reflected signal, the level of ambient infrared light, and the sensor's internal temperature. This comprehensive data allows for advanced filtering, reliability checks, and system calibration in your application code.
