{"title":"LIDAR-Lite v3HP","handle":"lidar-lite-v3hp","url":"/products/lidar-lite-v3hp","description":"The LIDAR-Lite v3HP is a compact, high-performance optical distance measurement sensor from Garmin. Housed in a durable IPX7-rated enclosure, it delivers accurate range measurements from 5 cm to 40 m, making it an ideal solution for drones, robots, and unmanned vehicles.\n\nCompared to the LIDAR-Lite v3, the v3HP offers faster sampling rates above 1 kHz (vs 500 Hz) and improved power efficiency with approximately 40 mA less current draw. The sensor is fully user-configurable, allowing you to adjust the balance between accuracy, operating range, and measurement time. It interfaces via I²C or PWM using the included 200 mm cable.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n40 m Range – Accurate optical distance measurement from 5 cm to 40 m\n\n±2.5 cm Accuracy – At distances greater than 1 m\n\nHigh Sample Rate – Greater than 1 kHz for fast-moving applications\n\nIPX7-Rated Housing – Durable and water-resistant enclosure\n\nLow Power Consumption – 65 mA idle, 85 mA acquiring\n\nDual Interface – I²C or PWM output via included 200 mm cable\n\nUser Configurable – Adjustable accuracy, range, and measurement time trade-offs\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nRange – 5 cm to 40 m\n\nAccuracy – ±2.5 cm (at >1 m)\n\nSample Rate – >1 kHz\n\nLaser – 905 nm edge-emitting, 1.3 W single-stripe transmitter\n\nBeam Divergence – 8 mrad\n\nOptical Aperture – 12.5 mm\n\nOperating Voltage – 5 V DC (6 V max)\n\nPeak Power – 1.3 W\n\nCurrent (Idle) – 65 mA\n\nCurrent (Acquiring) – 85 mA\n\nInterface – I²C or PWM\n\nCable Length – 200 mm (included)\n\n\n\nNote: The LIDAR-Lite v3HP is not a drop-in replacement for the v3. The v3HP uses different command and control registers — refer to the v3HP User Manual for correct sample code and register details.\n\n\n\nLaser Safety: Class 1 laser product classified per EN/IEC 60825-1:2014. Conforms to 21 CFR 1040 performance standards (Variance Number FDA-2016-V-2943).\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nDrone altitude and obstacle avoidance\nRobotic navigation and mapping\nUnmanned vehicle distance sensing\nIndustrial proximity measurement\n","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":5494,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-SEN-14599","price":301.07,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":300,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
