Arduino LiDAR Quick Start Guide with the TF-Luna 

Fantastic. LIDAR accuracy at this price point will make a lot of new things possible.

Ty @AnotherMaker I’m going to try and apply this in the real world… someday. For now I just figured out how to get an electric motor wired up to a switch.

And when you mount it on a fast servo or stepper motor, the fun REALLY begins! ;)

is it okay for outdoor use? i planned to use it on my drone. Thanks for the video

Can i work TF-Luna module sensor with Arduino Uno or ESP32? Thanks

Hmm i am thinking about printing and making a spot micro these come in very handy

Thank you, does it only works in a straight line? Detection profile plz

Many thanks for this well done and informative video. I have a question for you, can I use this sensor to map the surface of wavey water. Which one is better in such application, the ultrasonic or the Lidar?

i'm working on a tech to detect potholes in water logged roads can this sensor detect the abnormalities below water or in other words can this thing work under water?

Beam width? Beam divergance? Is that info available?

I have connected the TF Luna to my arduino uno and the code can be compiled and uploaded. However when viewing the data monitor I do not get any data recorded. Only 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00.

can you give us the circuit diagram please

Thank you for this video! I followed it exactly but am having an error issue that reads as follows: Status: HEADER / Data: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00. Any ideas on why this would be happening?

Hi...Can we use TF Luna lidar in detecting potholes?? If yes...Does it provide results in water stagnated potholes or it will give result only in dry potholes??

I installed the library but cannot seem to find the folder at all in my directory. Not sure what is happening

Are there DIY lidar sensors that have a shorter range? I'm looking to make one for a laser engraver. Accuracy of 1mm or less with a range approx. 150mm to (don't care).

if i use arduino uno and tf-luna LIDAR will your code still work?

almost nice, next time explain where u connected the circuit so we can follow thru

since it is a laser, does it work for measuring the water level in a rain barrel?

what part of the code signals to us that we should be using pins 17 and 16?

Can you please provide a pinout of the device? The colors of the wires on the cable that came with my unit are different.

Hey! I'm wondering if you could share a video on "How to send 'Hello word!'" Between to arduino's using the LASER module and the LASER Sensor Non-Modulator module. I think this would be amazing!

Thanks for the info. Can you describe how to use this with an Arduino Uno? Thanks!

Can you plz share a diagram showing how to connect this with Arduino Nano?

Great job, can i use this TF-Luna for 3d mapping ?

can i use this on a samsung phone with the app scanner 3d via usb???

can it use for water level inside the Tank?

lidar able 40m like lidar lite?

hi, is there any idea to install print.h? i couldn't get the example run smoothly.please get e any idea.

USE OF THAT PRINT F FILE?

Heya, my LIDAR sensor came in with a 6-pin communication wire. Is there a way I can use it using only normal jumper wires? If so then how?

The cheap arduino thing is useless. I have that ordered and I also have a lidar that has the same range except it has 360 degree range with a built it stm32f throwing tons of data that needs to be parsed haha. I have a long term project that involves spacial data in real time by more than one sensor. Eight now I'm evaluating different 3d data representation solutions. I believe I'm going to end up settling on js and Vulcan or opengl. I don't know java, it's probably the only popular language I'm not fluent in. By fluent I mean can read and follow the logic. I'm probably gonna pull and transform the data, do all the spacial parsing and pass it to simple vector based representation so I can debug. I'd love to get a jetson Xavier for msrp so I'm going to use a pi3 I think and capture the data on my pc and let the 3090 do the heavy lifting. The 3090 was cheaper than a vanilla 6 or 7 year old jetson xavier based on the 9xx nvidia cores. I'd not have bought a new gpu otherwise. Cyberpunk does look awful pretty but it did on the 2080ti I sold during the mining craze. I sold it for a fair, unscalp-like price to buy a new oscilloscope haha
