SF02
Laser rangefinder
! !
1. Overview
The lightweight, SF02 laser rangefinder module is an essential addition to any system that needs fast, accurate and reliable distance
!
measurements.
Operating from a 9 V battery or a regulated 5 V DC supply, the SF02 includes analog, digital and serial interfaces that can be easily
connected to an embedded controller or a standard processing platform such as Arduino
!
SF02 can be configured using a simple software menu that is accessible through the built-in USB port.
The SF02 works by measuring the time it takes for a very short flash of laser light to travel to an object and back again. The accuracy
of the measurement is not affected by the the color of the object's surface or the angle of incidence of the laser beam to the
!
surface. The SF02 is virtually immune to background light, wind, noise and other environmental interference.
The maximum measuring range of the SF02 is 40 meters and readings are updated 12 times per second. There is an option to smooth
! !
the distance measurements if higher resolution is required or use the raw results if higher speed is needed.
