Description

The TF-Nova Sensor utilizes a line-pattern laser beam LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) principle to deliver precise distance measurements across a 14° horizontal by 1° vertical field of view. This focused pattern enables accurate detection of objects and surfaces, making it suitable for terrain profiling and obstacle mapping. Its advanced optical design ensures reliable performance against targets with low reflectivity, even under challenging ambient light conditions up to 100Klux.

Engineered for industrial and mobile robotics environments, the sensor operates across a wide temperature range from -25°C to +70°C. It provides configurable frame rates from 1Hz to 900Hz (default 100Hz), allowing system designers to balance data refresh rate against processing load. The integrated signal processing delivers stable, repeatable measurements with a resolution of 1cm, supporting precise control and navigation tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the field of view (FoV) of the TF-Nova Sensor LiDAR sensor?

The TF-Nova Sensor features a line pattern laser beam with a 14-degree horizontal by 1-degree vertical field of view. This focused pattern creates a detection line, ideal for profiling surfaces, detecting edges, or measuring distance to a specific plane rather than a single point.

What interfaces does the TF-Nova Sensor support for communication?

The sensor supports both UART (serial) and I2C digital communication protocols. It also offers configurable GPIO pins for standalone trigger/output modes or simple networked operation, providing flexibility for integration with microcontrollers, single-board computers, or PLCs.

Can the TF-Nova Sensor operate reliably in bright outdoor sunlight?

Yes, it is designed for all-light-condition stability. It can detect a target with 10% reflectivity at a distance of up to 2 meters even under intense 100,000-lux (100Klux) sunlight, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor robotic and vehicle applications.

What is the power supply requirement for the TF-Nova Sensor sensor?

The TF-Nova Sensor requires a DC 5V power supply with a ±10% tolerance (4.5V to 5.5V). It is compatible with standard 5V logic levels commonly found on development boards like Arduino, Raspberry Pi (via 5V GPIO), and ESP32 modules.

How configurable is the data output rate of the TF-Nova Sensor?

The sensor's frame rate is highly configurable, ranging from 1 Hz to 900 Hz, with a default setting of 100 Hz. This allows you to optimize the balance between data freshness and processor load or power consumption based on your specific application needs.
