About this Product

Use Cases:

• Rangefinding and Obstacle Avoidance

• Gamepiece / Object Presence and Range Detection

• Absolute Elevator Height Detection

• Contactless Limit Switch

Key Features

• Input voltage range 4.5V – 16V

• FRC CAN Ready!

• 0-4000mm range (in IR-darkness)

• Small (25x25mm, < 1inx1in) form-factor

• Adjustable Region of Interest (RoI) and Field of View (FoV)

• Configurable from robot code and/or from GrappleHook

• Ambient light measurement

• Adjustable 10-50Hz sample rate

The LaserCAN uses the VL53L1X Class-1 940nm laser ranging sensor, and exposes configuration of the 16×16 SPAD array, allowing you to target your region of interest (ROI) to suit your needs. Use a small ROI for detecting the height of your elevator, or a wide ROI for detecting gamepieces. Adjust your ranging mode (short vs long) to tune distance vs ambient light rejection, and adjust your timing budget to tune accuracy vs measurement frequency.
