## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ not work
*by A***  on February 7, 2025*

not work don't west your time and money chose anther lieder very disappoint

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting technology but this particular item seems to no longer be supported
*by Y***O on March 21, 2024*

I kept the overall rating at 4 because even though Benewake not longer has any info on this product. I was able to find enough to test it. It's really cool to be able to see the distance you are from an object. There are lots of factors that influence the accuracy. Also note that sunlight has a significant effect on accuracy so they recommend not using it outdoors. This TF-LCO2 module is considered a LiDAR device. LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging where it sends waves out and then receives them. Using some sort of time of flight conversion they turn the analog timing to digital distance values whereby you can get an idea of how far away the object is from the lens of the sensor. After searching the internet I finally found some semblance of documentation and code to set up a serial connection. But I suggest you look for the reviewer who posted a good example of that. I am going to now try to mount these modules on my car/robot so that it can detect objects autonomously using LiDAR, like an upcoming wall, and then undertake corrective measures, like change direction. Using this module device is for someone with seasoned microprocessor experience or who has some tech experience and considerable time to investigate and learn how to implement the device in a project. I think this is a relatively inexpensive way to learn about LiDAR hands on, and have some fun exploring the possibilities. This technology is huge for robotics, EVs, drones, and many other applications. This certainly would be helpful in developing your chops for higher grade school robot competitions. Better documentation and support would be helpful, but I did enjoy the challenge of getting it to show me some distance data and I look forward to continuing to try using these 2 modules in various projects.

### ⭐⭐ Not a Good Choice
*by P***G on March 1, 2024*

Benewake has discontinued the TF-LC02 LiDAR sensor and getting information on it is harder than it should be. I was able to find a support link on another Amazon vendor that gave the code for the example shown in this offering’s images. The code uses an USB to TTL serial module to extract the data to a PC via a software serial port on an Arduino Uno. The code example contains all the routines you need to use the sensor without requiring additional libraries. Some things that you need to know before using the sensor is that it is powered by 3.3V, the sensor’s serial port RX and TX appear to be 5V tolerant, the sensor uses a chip select line (CS) that needs to be grounded to get data output, and the sensor doesn’t have a I2C port (serial only).The TF-LC02 is meant to be used in an indoor environment. I found the readings to be consistent, but longer than the target’s true distance (nice gaussian distribution with avg ~27 and std dev ~1.5 inches at 24-inches). Readings were impacted by target color and target distance was always over estimated. The darker the target color, the larger the difference between the true target distance and the reported sensor reading. Both sensors gave similar readings and were matched for all practical purposes. I found the maximum range before getting range errors to be about 55-inches (140cm), not 78-inches (200cm).There are so many better choices for distance sensors in this range, I can’t recommend the TF-LC02.
