LIDAR-Lite v4 LED Rangefinder (10m)

• LIDAR-Lite v4 LED Rangefinder (10m)
• Features a small, lightweight, very low-power optical ranging sensor
• Is highly configurable and customizable
• Communicates wirelessly over ANT technology
• Allows stand-alone operation or connection to an external micro-controller

The LIDAR-Lite v4 LED Rangefinder (10m) is the first to incorporate ANT profile wireless networking technology into an optical sensor.

Its built-in nRF52840 processor means that developers can create custom applications, or LIDAR-Lite v4 can be operated as a stand-alone device right out of the box by using the preloaded stock application. And, like the LIDAR-Lite v3 and LIDAR-Lite v3HP sensors, it can also be directly connected to an external micro-controller running a custom user application.

As such, it provides a highly adaptable option for OEM and maker applications in robotics, “internet of things” and unmanned vehicles - or any application where an ultrasonic sensor might otherwise be used.

It’s perfect as the basic building block for applications where wireless capabilities, small size, light weight, low power consumption and high performance are important factors in a short-range, 10-meter, optical distance measuring sensor. The LIDAR-Lite v4 requires an external 5 VDC power source.
