TFmini series has the advantages of low cost, small volume and low power consumption, and multiple interfaces to meet different requirements. TFmini is a milestone for Benewake to promote the process of low cost LiDAR. It has unique optical, structural and electronic designs. As an upgraded version, TFmini-S is based on the extensive experience of TFmini. While still small and light, it has higher performance and is suitable for much more applications.

The TFMini is a ToF (Time of Flight) LiDAR sensor capable of measuring the distance to an object as close as 30 centimeters and as far as 12 meters! As with all LiDAR sensors, your effective detection distance will vary depending on lighting conditions and the reflectivity of your target object, but what makes this sensor special is its size. Measuring only 42x15x16mm, the TFMini allows you to integrate LiDAR into applications traditionally reserved for smaller sensors such as the SHARP GP-series infrared rangefinders. The TFMini is easy to power at only 5V and easy to talk to using a 3.3V UART at 115200 baud.  This version of the TFMini comes with an easy to use bread board friendly cable. The four wires are terminated in pins making it easy to use with Arduinos and other platforms with female headers. If you are looking to use I2C with the TFMini, we also offer a version with Qwiic capabilities, as well!
