CAN-Interfaced Laser Time-of-Flight Range/Distance Sensor
4m max range, 50Hz max sample rate, 6-16V supply, 1Mbit CAN

Description:
This is a highly integrated time-of-flight ranging/distance sensor with a 1M bit CAN (Controller Area Network) interface. Designed with FRC and the RoboRio in mind, the SEN-36005 includes a LabView VI to rapidly integrate it into your robot design. The CAN interface documentation also allows this sensor to be quickly added to existing CAN buses in test, industrial and automotive applications, as well. The sensor is protected by a full case with integrated coverglass, and can handle up to 16V supply voltage.

The SEN-36005 is based on the state of the art ST VL53L1X Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor. It utilizes an invisible class 1 laser (940nm) to measure absolute distance regardless of the target color or reflectance. The maximum sample rate and ranging distance is dependent on ambient lighting conditions (1.4 meters in short mode, 4 meters in long mode).

Check out Github for example Arduino sketches and libraries, available for free as always.

Applications: 
  • FIRST Robotics and other robotics competitions!
  • Industrial ranging (smart assembly and packaging lines)
  • Any other application where medium-range proximity sensing is needed
Features: 
  • Absolute proximity sensing up to 4 meters, depending on ambient conditions and object reflectivity
  • Ambient light intensity measurement
  • Adjustable Field of View (15 to 27 degrees)
  • Invisible 940 nm Class1 laser emitter
  • Up to 50 Hz sample rate
  • 1M bit CAN bus
  • 254 configurable CAN IDs to allow multiple devices on a single bus (Note, most CAN buses can only support 120 physical nodes)
  • Wide supply voltage range: 6.0V – 16.0V
  • STEP files available for download
  • Full spec'd CAN interface documentation (on github)
  • LabVIEW libraries to configure and read the sensor with ease
  • Designed, manufactured, tested and shipped from the USA
