tfluna-driver 0.1.0

Code to read measurements from a Tf-Luna LiDAR sensor.

TF-Luna LiDAR Python Driver

The TF-Luna sensor is a LiDAR sensor, which can be read either with I2C or Serial.

This repository contains the code permitting to use the TF-Luna sensor with the serial interface.

This repository is a fork of tfluna-python, and is a rewrite of the driver to a class-based structure. The new code is also more careful when it comes to handling the serial interface: this driver is indeed intended to be used (only) as a Python resource, i.e. as follows (more details in the example folder):

import tfluna
import timeout_decorator

with tfluna.TfLuna(baud_speed=115200, serial_name="/dev/serial0") as tfluna:
    tfluna.get_version()
    tfluna.set_samp_rate(10)
    #tfluna.set_baudrate(57600) # can be used to change the baud_speed
    distance,strength,temperature = tfluna.read_tfluna_data() 

- TF-Luna + Raspberry Pi Wiring -

The TF-Luna can be wired to the Raspberry Pi via the mini UART port:
