VMA349 Test Example 1. Connect the VMA349 to the VMA410 and VMA100 as in the table above. 2. Download the tfmini-master.zip file from our website. 3. Open the Arduino ® IDE and load the tfmini-master.zip library. 4. Once the library is loaded, open the BasicReading sketch which is included in the library.

Be sure the baud rate is at 115200 baud! As this baud rate is quite high, try to use short RX/TX wires, otherwise glitches can appear and cause wrong readings. TIP: use the VMA349 in combination with the VMA434 laser module. It makes it easier to find the location where the VMA349 takes the distance.

VMA349 Sample Sketch Example code for Benewake TFMini time-of-flight distance sensor. by Peter Jansen (December 11/2017) This example code is in the public domain. This example communicates to the TFMini using a SoftwareSerial port at 115200, while communicating the distance results through the default Arduino hardware serial debug port.
