The LightWare LW20/C (100 m) is a compact and rugged MicroLiDAR distance sensor designed for precise distance measurements up to 100 meters. Thanks to its IP67 rating, the sensor is dustproof and waterproof, making it ideal for demanding outdoor environments. With a measurement range of 0.2 to 100 m, a wavelength of 905 nm, and a measurement rate of up to 5,000 readings per second, it delivers reliable real-time data even in direct sunlight.
Weighing only 19.5 g, the sensor supports UART and I²C interfaces and can be easily integrated into systems such as PX4, ArduPilot, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi. First- and last-pulse signal processing enhances performance in challenging conditions such as dust, fog, rain, or snow. Typical applications include drones, autonomous vehicles, terrain following, altitude measurement, obstacle detection, and industrial automation.
