• Compact module with integrated CMOS camera and laser system
• Optimal measurement range of 6–48 inches
• Maximum object detection distance of-8 feet (2.4 meters)
• Range finding sample rate of 1Hz
• RoHS compliant
Designed in conjunction with Grand Idea Studio, the Parallax 15-122cm Laser Rangefinder is a distance-measuring instrument that uses laser technology to calculate the distance to a targeted object. The design uses a Propeller processor, CMOS camera, and laser diode to create a low-cost laser range finder. Distance to a targeted object is calculated by optical triangulation using simple trigonometry between the centroid of laser light, camera, and object.
Features:
• Optimal measurement range of 6–48 inches (15–122 cm) with an accuracy error <5%, average 3%
• Single row, 4-pin, 0.1” header for easy connection to a host system
Application Ideas:
• Distance or liquid level measurements
• Object detection and/or avoidance
• Item counting
Note: DANGER! Class IIIa Laser Product, 3 mW Maximum Output @ 635 nm, Avoid Direct Eye Exposure.
