## 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. Compared 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. Key Features 40 m Range – Accurate optical distance measurement from 5 cm to 40 m ±2.5 cm Accuracy – At distances greater than 1 m High Sample Rate – Greater than 1 kHz for fast-moving applications IPX7-Rated Housing – Durable and water-resistant enclosure Low Power Consumption – 65 mA idle, 85 mA acquiring Dual Interface – I²C or PWM output via included 200 mm cable User Configurable – Adjustable accuracy, range, and measurement time trade-offs Specifications Range – 5 cm to 40 m Accuracy – ±2.5 cm (at >1 m) Sample Rate – >1 kHz Laser – 905 nm edge-emitting, 1.3 W single-stripe transmitter Beam Divergence – 8 mrad Optical Aperture – 12.5 mm Operating Voltage – 5 V DC (6 V max) Peak Power – 1.3 W Current (Idle) – 65 mA Current (Acquiring) – 85 mA Interface – I²C or PWM Cable Length – 200 mm (included) Note: 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. Laser 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). Ideal For Drone altitude and obstacle avoidance Robotic navigation and mapping Unmanned vehicle distance sensing Industrial proximity measurement
