Adafruit Garmin LIDAR-Lite Optical Distance Sensor - V3

Garmin's LIDAR-Lite V3 offers high-performance optical distance measurement in a compact form. Ideal for drones, rovers, and robots, this sensor measures up to 40 meters using a laser-based system while drawing only 130 mA during acquisition. Easily adjust accuracy, operating range, and measurement time with the I2C command set.Designed for straightforward, non-rotational measurements, it delivers true laser precision. With communication via I2C or PWM, it integrates seamlessly with Arduino and CircuitPython/Python setups. Although not a rotating sensor, its lightweight design makes it superior for fixed-direction applications, achieving up to 500 Hz measurement rates with adjustable precision.This reliable LIDAR solution requires a microcontroller or microcomputer for connection to the I2C pins to access distance values efficiently. Designed for those who need high-quality, efficient, and adaptable LIDAR technology.
