Description
The LIDAR sensor works by sending out an infrared beam and measuring the time it takes to be reflected back. The LIDAR-Lite v4 utilizes LEDs rather than a laser for this iteration; therefore, it is inherently eye-safe under normal usage. The built-in nRF52840 microcontroller runs a pre-loaded "out of the box" stock application to calculate the distance between itself and something in front of it. The equipped nRF52840 also allows developers to create custom applications to expand on the "out of the box" functionality or connect to an external micro-controller running a custom user application.
The SparkFun LIDAR Lite v4 Arduino library makes getting data as easy as a call to the getDistance() function. The library also supports changing the I2C address of each LIDAR and provides an easy example of how to do so. Its low power-consumption and I2C address configuration means you can daisy-chain up to 10 of these sensors on one microcontroller platform.
