Description

The YDLIDAR SDM15 is engineered for precise, single-point distance measurement using a Time-of-Flight (TOF) laser. It delivers stable, low-error readings at a high sampling rate, suitable for dynamic environments. Its compact form factor and high ambient light immunity make it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

This module outputs serial data via a configurable baud rate (460800 to 1,500,000 bps), allowing seamless integration with microcontrollers like STM32 or single-board computers running Linux. The included USB adapter board simplifies power and communication, enabling quick prototyping and system integration for autonomous navigation and fixed-height obstacle detection.

Key Features

  • Time-of-Flight (TOF) laser ranging principle for high accuracy and stability.
  • Wide operating range from 0.05 meters to 15 meters.
  • High-speed sampling at up to 1.8 kHz for real-time distance tracking.
  • Superior ambient light resistance up to 60,000 Lux for reliable outdoor operation.
  • Compact, lightweight aluminum housing for easy mounting on UAVs and mobile robots.
  • Serial (UART) communication with configurable baud rates from 460,800 to 1,500,000 bps.
  • Powered via 5V USB Type-C connection through the included adapter board.
  • Officially supported with ROS/ROS2 drivers and example code for STM32 and Linux.

Applications

  • Fixed-height obstacle avoidance and terrain following for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage and how do I power the SDM15 sensor?

The YDLIDAR SDM15 operates on 5V DC, which is typically supplied via the included USB Type-C cable and adapter board. You can connect the adapter board directly to a computer USB port or a 5V power supply. Do not exceed 5V to avoid damaging the laser module.

How do I communicate with the SDM15 and what baud rates are supported?

The module communicates via a serial UART interface. You can connect the TX/RX pins from the adapter board to your microcontroller (e.g., STM32, Arduino). Supported baud rates are configurable from 460,800 bps up to 1,500,000 bps. The default baud rate is typically 460,800 bps, but you should refer to the datasheet for configuration commands.

Can the SDM15 be used outdoors and in bright sunlight?

Yes, the SDM15 is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It features high ambient light resistance, capable of operating reliably under strong light conditions up to 60,000 Lux. This makes it suitable for UAV and robot applications in outdoor environments.

Is there software support for integrating the SDM15 with robotics platforms?

Yes, YDLIDAR provides official software support, including ROS and ROS2 drivers, as well as example code for STM32 and Linux-based systems. These resources facilitate quick integration for obstacle avoidance, navigation, and environmental mapping applications.
