PONO TSD20-20m Single-Point ToF LiDAR Distance Sensor Module, 200Hz, UART/I2C, 3~3.6V, Range: 0.05~20m

The TSD20 module supports both UART (TTL serial) and I2C communication protocols, selectable via configuration. UART offers simple point-to-point communication, while I2C allows multiple sensors to share the same bus. The default baud rate for UART is typically 115200bps, and the I2C address is configurable for system integration with microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

The sensor requires a regulated DC supply voltage between 3.0V and 3.6V. Exceeding 3.6V can damage the module. While the exact current draw isn't specified in the provided data, typical DTOF sensors in this class consume tens to low hundreds of milliamps during active measurement, making them suitable for battery-powered applications with proper power management.

For distances of 5 meters and beyond, the sensor's accuracy is 1% of the measured distance. Therefore, at the full 20-meter range, the accuracy is typically ±20cm. For shorter distances under 5 meters, a higher precision of ±5cm is guaranteed. The sensor's performance remains stable under strong ambient light up to 100,000 Lux.

Yes, the TSD20 is designed with strong ambient light immunity rated at 100 kLux, which allows it to operate reliably in most outdoor conditions, including indirect sunlight. However, direct exposure to intense, focused sunlight on the receiver may still cause saturation, so optimal mounting to avoid direct sun ingress is recommended for critical applications.
