Description
The LaserPING 2m Rangefinder provides an easy method of distance measurement. This near-infrared, time-of-flight (TOF) sensor is ideal for taking measurements between moving or stationary objects. A single I/O pin is used to both query the LaserPING sensor for its latest distance measurement, and to read the reply. The LaserPING 2m Rangefinder can be used with nearly any microcontroller, utilizing its PWM mode or optional serial mode. It is designed to be circuit- and code-compatible with the PING))) Ultrasonic Distance Sensor (#28015), making applications adaptable where different environmental conditions need to be considered. Measurements can even be taken through an acrylic window to protect the sensor; see the product guide for material selection guidelines. The sensor's built-in co-processor ensures the right logic levels. Its I/O connections operate at the same voltage supplied to the VIN pin, for compatibility with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers. Features Compatible with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers Breadboard-friendly 3-pin SIP form-factor with mounting hole Application Ideas Physics studies Security systems Interactive animated exhibits Robotics navigation and parking assistant systems Interactive applications such as hand detection and 1D gesture recognition Volume or height detection in process control systems Key Specifications Laser: 850 nm VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) Range: 2-200 cm Resolution: 1 mm Typical refresh rate: 15 Hz PWM mode, 22 Hz serial mode Power requirements: +3.3V DC to +5 VDC; 25 mA Communication: PWM (idle low) or serial 9600 baud (idle high); logic level = VIN Operating temperature: +14 to +140 °F (-10 to +60 °C) Laser eye safety: near-infrared Class 1 laser product Field of illumination: 23° degrees Field of view: 55° degrees Form factor: 3-pin male header with 0.1" spacing PCB dimensions: 22 x 16 mm

Product review & video
here's a demo of the calibration command for the laser rangefinder module right now I just have the module connected to a USB to serial adapter which is connected directly to my PC that has a the parallax serial terminal running on it for every laser rangefinder module because of the manufacturing tolerances of the laser diode and the camera we need to do a calibration step to calculate the slope and intercept values that we're going to use to help determine range from the module to the target object so in this case I'm using the wall for calibration distance and what I'm going to do is connect up to the to the device and I have the coal and I'm ready to go I'm going to hit X which starts the calibration routine it says set L RF to distance of 20 centimeters and press any key or X to abort so basically I run through a number of different distances in the calibration routine right now cy
