This small lidar-based distance sensor reports the distance of objects up to about 50 cm away with a pulsed signal similar to a hobby servo control signal. A digital microcontroller pin can be used to time the length of each high pulse, which encodes the measured distance. The sensor works over an input voltage range of 3.0 V to 5.5 V, and the2.54mm pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and2.54mm perfboards.
Note: The maximum range of 50 cm is only achievable for high-reflectance objects in good ambient conditions. Lower-reflectivity targets or poor ambient conditions will reduce the maximum range.
Specifications:
- Operating voltage: 3.0 V to 5.5 V
- Current consumption: 30 mA (typical) when enabled, 0.4 mA when disabled
- Maximum range: approximately 50 cm (for high-reflectivity targets in good ambient conditions; lower-reflectivity targets or poor ambient conditions will reduce the maximum detection range)

- Field of view (FOV): 15 typical; can vary with object reflectance and ambient conditions
- Output type: digital pulse width
- Dimensions: 21.6 8.9 3.1 mm
