The TFMini is a ToF (Time of
Flight) LiDAR sensor capable of
measuring the distance to an
object as close as 30 cm and as
far as 12 meters! The TFMini
allows you to integrate LiDAR into
applications traditionally reserved
for smaller sensors such as the
SHARP GP-series infrared
rangefinders.

Best small rangefinder ever!

These are great, easy to use, reliable, and they read very consistently, even outdoors. Be careful not to stress
the connector by pulling on the wires or bending the connector. I broke one off doing this. The force wasn’t that
much, but over a few days it was too much for it. My fault though, not the TFMini. The only real downside with
the TFMini is that it is serial, not I2C. But, the Rx pin (on the TFMini) isn’t strictly needed, so you can get away
only one data pin.

In 2003, CU student Nate Seidle fried a power supply in his dorm room
and, in lieu of a way to order easy replacements, decided to start his
own company. Since then, SparkFun has been committed to sustainably
helping our world achieve electronics literacy from our headquarters in
Boulder, Colorado.
No matter your vision, SparkFun's products and resources are designed
to make the world of electronics more accessible. In addition to over
2,000 open source components and widgets, SparkFun offers
curriculum, training and online tutorials designed to help demystify the
wonderful world of embedded electronics. We're here to help you start
something.
