# Benewake TFmini LiDAR

The Benewake TFmini LiDAR (opens new window) is a tiny, low cost, and low power LIDAR with 12m range. It must be connected to a UART/serial bus.

TFmini LiDAR

# Hardware Setup

TFmini can be connected to any unused serial port (UART), e.g.: TELEM2, TELEM3, GPS2 etc.

# Parameter Setup

Configure the serial port on which the lidar will run using SENS_TFMINI_CFG. There is no need to set the baud rate (this is hard coded in the sensor driver as only one rate is supported).

Note

If the configuration parameter is not available in QGroundControl then you may need to add the driver to the firmware:

drivers/distance_sensor/tfmini
