Product ManualProduct Overview
The LIDAR-Lite v3 is a high-performance optical distance measurement sensor from Garmin™. When space and weight constraints are tight, the LIDAR-Lite v3 delivers unparalleled accuracy at its price point. It is the ideal compact solution for drone, robot, or unmanned vehicle applications that require reliable ranging without the bulk of industrial sensors.
Performance & Versatility
Building on the legacy of the popular v2, this easy-to-use laser-based sensor offers a range of features that still rank as some of the best even after almost 10 years after release:
- Compact Power: Delivers a range of up to 40 meters in a form factor small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
- Precision Tech: Features an edge-emitting, 905nm single-stripe laser transmitter paired with efficient optics.
- Highly Adaptable: Allows you to configure the balance between accuracy, operating range, and measurement time to suit your project.
Easy Integration
The v3 operates at 5V DC and interfaces easily via I2C or PWM, making it compatible with everything from Arduino to Raspberry Pi and Pixhawk flight controllers. With a continuous current consumption of <130mA, it is efficient enough for battery-powered mobile platforms.
