Note: The side length of common objects detected should be greater than that of the detection range of TF03; When the side length of the detected object is less than that of the detection range, the LiDAR effective range will be reduced...
There are two type of communication version: serial port version and CAN bus communication version. Serial port version The serial port version of TF03 adopts an UART-LVTTL interface; refer to the specific communication in Table 4. The output level of the serial port is a LVTTL level (0-3.3V).
See Table 7 for TF03 data format of the CAN version; all data is hexadecimal numbers, each frame of data has a total of 8 bytes and the data contains the measured distance information, namely, DIST; other bytes are reserved.

3)TF display software connection and reading Figure 6 The interface of TF display software As shown in Figure 7, open the TF display program, selectⅠ『Benewake TF03』 and select the serial port for automatic identification (here is Ⅱ『COM9』). Then, click『CONNECT』to connect to the TF display program.
Interface of custom TF display software is shown in the figure above. 1) After TF03 is connected to the computer, select the correct port number and baud rate in Zone C manually and click the 『Connect』 button to realize communication between the TF display software and TF03.
TF03. When no reply is received for a long time, 『No Response』will be displayed on the right side of the instruction-sending buttons. Please note that in order to ensure that TF03 reply instructions can be obtained normally, lower the『frame rate』or set the『output mode』as 『instruction trigger』before configuration.
Q1: Can TF03 support other voltage input? A1: At present, other voltage input are not supported. The standard voltage input for TF03 is 5V. If you have other needs, you can contact our sales staff for further inquiries about customization.
『Product Type』 : Use the TTL-USB pin board to connect the corresponding LiDAR model at the computer terminal; if you use the product TF03 of our company, just select Benewake TF03. 『Serial Port』 : Select to identify the corresponding LiDAR port number at the computer terminal.
