TFMini - Micro LiDAR Module

Discontinued

The TFMini is a compact Time of Flight (ToF) LiDAR sensor that measures distance from 30 cm to 12 metres. At just 42 × 15 × 16 mm, it brings LiDAR ranging to applications traditionally reserved for smaller infrared sensors.

This version includes a breadboard-friendly cable with four pins for easy connection to Arduino and other microcontroller platforms via female headers. It runs on 5 V and communicates over 3.3 V UART at 115200 baud.

Key Features

  • Time of Flight LiDAR – Accurate distance measurement using infrared laser ranging
  • 30 cm to 12 m Range – Effective range varies with lighting conditions and target reflectivity
  • Ultra-Compact – Just 42 × 15 × 16 mm, suitable for space-constrained builds
  • Simple Interface – 3.3 V UART at 115200 baud for easy integration
  • Breadboard-Friendly Cable – Four-wire cable terminated with pin headers
  • Low Power – Operates on 5 V supply

Ideal For

  • Robotics and obstacle avoidance
  • Drone altitude and proximity sensing
  • Distance measurement and mapping projects
  • Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and microcontroller integration

Package Contents

  • 1× TFMini Micro LiDAR Module
  • 1× Breadboard-friendly cable
