TFS20-L ToF LiDAR Sensor (20m, Sunlight Resistant, 1.35g)

The TFS20-L is an ultra-lightweight Time-of-Flight (ToF) LiDAR sensor engineered for drones, mobile robots, and autonomous maker projects. Weighing just 1.35g, it delivers fast and accurate distance measurements up to 20m in both indoor and outdoor environments. It is ideal for students, educators, and robotics developers seeking compact ranging hardware for weight-sensitive builds.

Long-range optical detection

The sensor measures distances up to 20m using Time-of-Flight technology. This provides ample detection range for autonomous navigation, mapping, and obstacle avoidance in robotics.

High-speed 250Hz data output

A fast refresh rate of 250Hz ensures rapid stream delivery of real-time ranging data. This enables responsive flight control and quick collision prevention during high-speed manoeuvres.

Strong ambient sunlight resistance

Engineered with 100Klux ambient light tolerance, the sensor resists interference from direct sunlight. This ensures dependable ranging performance during outdoor drone flights and field operations.

Featherweight 1.35g form factor

At a mass of only 1.35g, the sensor adds virtually no load to micro aerial vehicles or miniature rovers. Its compact dimensions make it easy to embed into tight chassis designs.

Flexible I2C and UART connectivity

The unit supports both I2C and UART serial communication protocols for broad hardware compatibility. This allows straightforward integration with popular microcontrollers, single-board computers, and flight controllers.
