Product description: Fermion - ToF distance sensor TMF8701- 0,6m - I2C - DFRobot SEN0429
Fermion's time-of-flight (ToF) distancesensor module TMF8701. The sensor measures distance based on the time difference between light pulses. It detects objects regardless of the color, reflectance, and texture of the object. The TMF8701 operates in proximity mode (from 1 cm to 10 cm) or range mode (from 10 cm to 60 cm). The device measures with ±5% accuracy and can operate in both lighted and dark environments. The module uses an I2C interface for communication and is powered by 2.7 V to 3.3 V.
ToF TMF8701 distance sensor. Goldpin strip included.
Sensor from the DFRobot Fermion series.Main features of the TMF8701 distance sensor
