Description

The LightWare SF30/D microLiDAR utilizes time-of-flight (ToF) LiDAR technology, emitting 905 nm laser pulses to calculate distances with high precision. Its advanced signal processing enables multiple return detection, signal strength analysis, and noise measurement, ensuring reliable performance in varied lighting and environmental conditions.

Designed for integration into demanding systems, the sensor operates from a 4.5V to 5.5V DC supply and features an open-frame construction with an IP40 rating for the unit and an IP65-rated front face. It delivers stable, high-resolution distance data essential for dynamic navigation and object detection tasks.

Key Features

  • Long-range 200 m measurement capability (80% reflective target).
  • Ultra-fast and configurable update rate from 39 to 20,000 Hz.
  • Flexible digital interfaces: USB, UART, and I2C for easy system integration.
  • Compact form factor (30 x 56.5 x 50 mm) and lightweight open-frame design.
  • Class 1M eye-safe laser ensuring user and operational safety.
  • Wide operating temperature range from -10°C to 50°C.
  • Direct compatibility with PX4, ArduPilot, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi ecosystems.
  • Robust construction with an IP65-rated front face for environmental protection.

Applications

  • Altitude Above Ground Level (AGL) sensing for UAVs and drones.
  • Terrain following and obstacle detection for autonomous vehicles.
  • Precision scanning and mapping in robotics and industrial automation.
  • Assisted take-off, landing, and position hold systems.
  • Long-range object detection for surveillance and security systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum operating range of the SF30/D microLiDAR?

The SF30/D has a maximum measurement range of 200 meters for targets with 80% reflectivity. The minimum measurable distance is 0.2 meters. Performance at maximum range can be affected by target reflectivity, size, and ambient light conditions.

How do I communicate with and configure this LiDAR sensor?

The sensor provides three communication interfaces: USB, Serial UART, and I2C (3.3V logic, 5V tolerant). You can use the LightWare Studio software for configuration and diagnostics, or send commands directly via the serial or I2C protocol to adjust parameters like update rate and filtering.

Is this laser sensor safe for use around people?

Yes, the SF30/D incorporates a Class 1M laser product, which is eye-safe under normal operating conditions. This classification means it is safe for use in environments where people may be present, though you should avoid direct eye exposure to the beam at close range.

What are the power requirements for the SF30/D sensor?

The sensor requires a DC supply voltage between 4.5V and 5.5V. It is designed to be powered directly from a standard 5V source, such as a USB port or a regulated system power rail, making it compatible with most microcontroller and single-board computer setups.

Can this sensor be used outdoors and in harsh environments?

The sensor's front face has an IP65 rating, making it dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets, suitable for outdoor use. However, the overall unit is rated IP40, so care should be taken to protect the electronics from direct moisture ingress from other angles.

Package Includes

  • 1 x SF30/D microLiDAR sensor
