TeraRanger Evaluation Kit Evo 60m

• TeraRanger Evaluation Kit Evo 60m
• Features the Tera Ranger Evo rangefinder
• Offers high-performance distance measurement using LED technology
• Includes USB and I2C/UART Evo backboards

The TeraRanger Evaluation Kit Evo 60m includes the rangefinder Tera Ranger Evo and a USB and I2C/UART backboard. It provides calibrated distance readings in millimeters and has a range up to 60 m, whilst remaining lightweight and small!

Instead of a laser, TeraRanger Evo uses LED technology. One advantage of this is that it enables the sensor to have a “Field of View” so that, rather than measuring distance based on a very small point of light, the sensor measures over an area. At 1 m distance, the area is approximately 3 cm by 3 cm. At 10 m it is approximately 30 cm by 30 cm, increasing linearly with range.

For many applications, this is a significant advantage and provides a more appropriate and stable data stream. Examples include drone flight over vegetation, a robot navigating close to a slatted fence, or irregularly shaped objects being detected at high speed.
