ToF (time of flight), it can be widely used in drone altitude hold and measurement, intelligent transportation, managing parking lots, smart agriculture and other fields. TF02-pro is the upgraded version, and it has optimized optical system and algorithm to achieve better realization in outdoor in the presence of ambient light, different reflectivity backgrounds and temperature.
Please keep it clean. The surface of optical lens is the ranging zero of LiDAR. The detection angle of TF02-Pro is 3°. At different distances, the size of light spot, namely the edge length of the detection range, is different. Side length of the detection range at different distances (the detection range is a square), is shown in Table 1-2.
If you use the product beyond the above application scope, please carefully evaluate whether the reliability requirements of the product to be applied match this product, or contact Benewake at any time to provide suggestions and useful hints to avoid any unpleasant situations.
INTERFACE Description About Wiring Sequence TF02-Pro has an 80cm long connecting wire with a 1.25-4P connector, which shown in Figure 2-1. Figure 2-1TF02-Pro external wiring connector and wiring sequence The wiring sequence is shown in Table 2-1. Table 2-1 The Function Description of Each Wire...
3.2.1 Standard data output format The serial data format of TF02-Pro is shown in Table 3-2,the data is hexadecimal, each data frame contains 9 bytes, including the distance value, signal strength, temperature of chip and data check byte (Checksum).
1.21m, the string 1.21 will be output, followed by the escape character \r\n. I²C Communication Protocol TF02-Pro supports I C data communication interface, as shown in the table below: Table 3-3 Data Communication Protocol of TF02-Pro: I²C Communication interface I²C Max transmission rate 400kbps...

I/O mode is shown in Figure 3-1. TF02-Pro supports three I/O modes, the default is mode0, which means turning off the I/O mode. Mode parameters are as follows: Mode0:data output mode. Mode1:I/O mode, near high and far low.
PARAMETER CONFIGURATION In order to allow TF02-Pro to solve your problems more flexibly, the function of user- defined configuration of product parameters is opened. Users can modify the original parameters of the product by sending relevant instructions, such as output data format, frame rate, etc.
The introduction of BW_TFDS software is shown in Attachment-1 BW_TFDS software. Connection of the hardware Connect “TF02-Pro”, “TTL-USB board” and “USB cable”. Make sure there is no loose connection. Then connect “USB cable” with “PC”. As shown in Figure 5-1.

“④TIME LINE CHART” will still be cm. For example, the actual TF02-Pro measurement is 1m, the distance value of TF02-Pro is 1000 in mm, the value read by the PC software also is 1000, but the unit will not change and still display cm.
Please contact us to get the updater if you cannot find it on our official website. The tools for the firmware upgrade of TF02-Pro are mostly the same as QUICK TEST GUIDE, which requires one TTL-USB board to connect the TF02-Pro with PC. The upgrade process is as follows: Run Updater_BENEWAKE.exe, Select right port, here is “①COM9”.

Cause ②: Due to the detection principle of TF02-Pro, the above phenomenon is likely to occur if the detection object is the material with high reflectivity (such as mirror, smooth floor tile, etc.) or transparent substance (such as glass and water, etc.) Troubleshooting: Please avoid use of this product under such circumstance in practice.

Use the PC supporting Microsoft operation system. Cause②: TTL-USB board is poorly connected. Troubleshooting: Check the TTL -USB board with the correct and reliable connection with TF02-Pro and Cause③: Driver of serial port is not correctly installed. Troubleshooting: Plug and unplug USB cable again. Try to reinstall the driver or directly download and install a driver from the internet.
Figure 0-1 BW_TFDS software GUI Product Type/Serial Port Control Zone [SETTINGS] Product: choose product model, such as TF02-Pro in this case COM: select the right serial port number corresponding to the LiDAR. Baud rate: choose the baud rate of LiDAR, which is set to 115200 as default for TF02- Pro.
