Review: After 3 Years is Still Working Fine - Very Reliable and accurate LIDAR Module I purchased this LIDAR unit in 2023 and am finally giving it a review. This is used to monitor the distance between a downhill/uphill tram and the winch building that controls the tram. I installed this lidar module in a waterproof box that has a clear plastic cover. The lidar module is used with an Arduino board and Elegoo touch screen that notifies the winch to stop upward movement when the tram is less than 3 feet from the winch building. When the LIDAR detects > 3ft the screen displays a green "SAFE" message with the distance in feet. When the LIDAR detects < 3ft the screen displays a red "UNSAFE" message with the distance in feet, turns on an alarm and stops the winch. There is a switch on the box that is for alarm only. The photos show the lidar module and the monitor that displays the distance between the tram and building. Bye the way, this lidar works through the clear acrylic cover as seen by the photo that has the clear lid closed. The photo that shows 3.61 ft was taken with the clear lid shut on the case. This unit is normally attached to the outside of the winch building from May to November. I unplug the unit and bring it inside during the winter. So the photos that show the unit were taken on my workbench. I just walked to and from the LIDAR module to show the different values and warnings. All of the items used (LIDAR, Arduino mega, elegoo monitor, waterproof box, etc. were purchased on desertcart). I have used this for almost 3 years with no problems.
Review: Works great - I bought this to build a LiDAR sensor to trigger Halloween animatronics. Every year I buy something new and every year it's great but not perfect. This finally broke that cycle. This was the best thing I have ever bought for this purpose. I can set a minimum and maximum range in my code, and this will let me only trigger props when people are exactly in between the ranges. Using the sample code for this it gives you distance in millimeters. It is extremely accurate and polls extremely fast. I did notice that once and a blue moon it would reflect the light weird and throw a crazy reading. My solution for this since I was triggering a command was to just check 2 pollings in a row. If 1 was in scope immediately check the next polling and trigger only if it is also in scope. Since these anomalies only every happen by themselves this prevents a false positive.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the i2c interface of this sensor work with the i2c interface of pixhawk 2.4.8?**
A: Sure. It support 2 .4.8.

**Q: What is the maximum range in real world?**
A: 8 meters in an ideal environment.
The ideal environment refers to the environment where the measured object has high reflectivity to the laser and low illuminance. In actual use, the illuminance of the environment and the reflectivity of the measured object to the laser directly affect the measurement range and accuracy

**Q: How would this perform on a moving gate in Carribean outside environment**
A: I've found that the amount of ambient light really affects its range. In the dark its range can be 15 to 20 ft, but it barely works at all in bright sunlight. I tried to use it to measure the distance between a car and the sensor in a very small garage, but when the sunlight was coming in the garage it just didn't work.

**Q: Can anyone find the socket information for this module?   I.e. to make a new cable of desired length from scratch without cutting/splicing**
A: There's a review by RDM of this product that has some good info, including the pinouts. I used them with success.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ UART works great on my drone
*by D***9 on December 17, 2024*

Wiring was easy. Was plug and play and the screw width is exactly the width of my flight controller board, making it easy to mount. Also not terribly expensive.
