TFA1200-L

About this product

TFA1200-L is a compact dToF ranging module for UAV gimbals and other long-distance measurement systems. The datasheet lists 3–1200 m under daytime outdoor conditions with 90% reflectivity and the whole spot on target, a 3 Hz frame rate, 2.7–5 V supply and UART interface. It is a host-integrated module with an approximately 25 × 25 × 13 mm body and 11 ±0.5 g mass. Cover image: Manufacturer exact-model reference illustration.

Communication control

Master–slave; host commands, periodic data/status during ranging

Reported claim

Configuration: TFA1200-L; datasheet/manual PDF page 3

Benewake doc-tfa1200-l-21-pdf-0
The master controller and the range finder use a master-slave communication method, where the master controller sends control commands to the range finder, which receives and executes the instructions. In the ranging state, the range finder periodically sends data and status back to the host computer.

Communication interface

UART
