If you need I2C, please switch by yourself. It is compatible with Raspberry Pi and Arduino. ★ User Manual and Document: Please get the link from Product guides and documents below - Upgraded Lidar Module: TFmini-s is an upgraded single-point micro ranging module based on TFmini. The dead zone is shortened to 10 cm, and the outdoor performance and accuracy of different reflectances are improved - Tiny Body Yet Big Wisdom: low-cost, small-size and low power consumption. Distance Resolution is 1cm, frame rate is 100Hz, ambient light immunity is 70Klux and central wavelength is 850nm - Tiny Yet Powerful: It is based on ToF (Time of Flight) principle and integrated with unique optical and electrical designs, so as to achieve stable, precise, high sensitivity and high-speed distance detection - Main Application Scenario: Pedestrian detection, vehicle detection, intelligent barrier gate and altimeter ## Images ![MakerFocus TFmini-s Micro Lidar Module 0.1-12M Lidar Range Finder Sensor Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Tiny Module Single Point UART I2C IO Compatible with Pixhawk Ar duino and Raspberry Pi - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gS6IaWb7L.jpg) ![MakerFocus TFmini-s Micro Lidar Module 0.1-12M Lidar Range Finder Sensor Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Tiny Module Single Point UART I2C IO Compatible with Pixhawk Ar duino and Raspberry Pi - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616Ea-zxpTL.jpg) ![MakerFocus TFmini-s Micro Lidar Module 0.1-12M Lidar Range Finder Sensor Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Tiny Module Single Point UART I2C IO Compatible with Pixhawk Ar duino and Raspberry Pi - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YuXGqwnIL.jpg) ![MakerFocus TFmini-s Micro Lidar Module 0.1-12M Lidar Range Finder Sensor Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Tiny Module Single Point UART I2C IO Compatible with Pixhawk Ar duino and Raspberry Pi - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RwwtalB4L.jpg) ![MakerFocus TFmini-s Micro Lidar Module 0.1-12M Lidar Range Finder Sensor Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Tiny Module Single Point UART I2C IO Compatible with Pixhawk Ar duino and Raspberry Pi - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VY3miKZ8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Works as designed *by D***P on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024* I used this as a help to park my car in the garage. This accurately and quickly responds to the distance of the car. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars It works great, though it appears to be a little cheap *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2018* It works great, though it appears to be a little cheap. I use it to build a laser scanner based on arduino. I'm prretty happy with it since it's sooo inexpensive. It is only 40 dollars, while Lidar Lite v3 is 150+ and other lidar is 400+ or even 1000+. Of course it's not as precise as those expensive lidar, but it is really cost efficient. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Works with a ESP32 *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018* This will be my 2nd TFMiniPlus. I did not remove the protective film on the first one. The first one got hot and would not function.2nd TFMiniPlus arrived, first time removed the protective film. The TFMiniPlus uses 5V but puts out 3.3V TTL for a direct connection to a ESP32.Single Trigger is easy to do. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/479435934-makerfocus-tfmini-s-micro-lidar-module-0-1-12m-lidar](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/479435934-makerfocus-tfmini-s-micro-lidar-module-0-1-12m-lidar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
