TFmini Plus is a small-sized, short-distance laser radar module and sensor, based on the upgraded version of TFmini. It inherits the major advantages of TFmini: small size, and low power consumption, and further improves the overall performance of the product by increasing the output frame rate, reducing the blind zone distance to below 10cm, and improving data stability and accuracy. Moreover, it has an IP65 protection level, and optimized compensation algorithms, which greatly expands its application fields.
Inherited TFmini’s design concept – ‘Small Yet Powerful’, TFmini Plus, as large as a man’s thumb, has greatly improved its overall performance. The frame rate can reach 1000Hz, and the lowest power consumption is 85mW.
Unlike the open structure of TFmini, TFmini Plus has been designed with IP65 protect level and has passed the vibration test of drone level, greatly expanding its application fields and scenarios. TFmini Plus supports Pix and customized output protocols, as well as various commonly used interfaces (UART, I/O, and I2C), more comprehensively meeting customers’ needs.

Benewake TFmini Plus LiDAR – FAQ
1. What is the main function and design of the Benewake TFmini Plus LiDAR?
