TFmini Plus is a great improvement over the original TFmini. It is a small single-point ranging sensor with unique optical and electrical algorithms, which can realize accurate and quick distance measurement as well as keep a stable and high-sensitive performance.
TFmini Plus is based on TOF, namely, Time of Flight principle. To be specific, the product emits modulation wave of near infrared ray on a periodic basis, which will be reflected after contacting object. The product obtains the time of flight by measuring round-trip phase difference and then calculates relative range between the product and the detection object.
Inherited characters of low cost, small size and low power consumption from TFmini, TFmini Plus has greatly improved its whole performance—increasing the frame rate from 100Hz to 1000Hz, reducing blind zone to 10cm, improving accuracy and stability. What’s more, TFmini Plus introduces IP65 enclosures that could effectively prevent water and dust, which also makes the product more adaptable to outdoor light or environment with different temperatures and reflectance. The sensor can provide much lower power consumption and more flexible detecting frequency. It is compatible with UART and I2C communication (send command to switch) and adopts standard 5V power supply. The average power is 0.55W.
This sensor works well with all sorts of Arduino controllers. It can be easily integrated into the system when used with the Arduino library developed by DFRobot.
TFmini Plus features a tiny size of 35*21*18.5mm(1.38*0.83*1.73”), as large as a man’s finger, but it brings us excellent ranging performance. Use the sensor to detect the distance between it and obstacle ahead; use it as an eye of a robot to provide distance information for robot to safely avoid obstacle and select route; or apply it in Automotive Collision Avoidance System; it is also suitable for altitude holding system of UAV and UAV landing scenarios.
