Project Description:
********************
In today’s episode, we will use the ToF10120 Laser Range Sensor module for measuring the distance.

As usual, before I am going to use this sensor in some intermediate and advanced level projects, first I will cover the extreme basics to help you get started with this small tiny beautiful piece of hardware. I performed a series of experiments and displayed the values on the serial monitor and once satisfied, I further modified the code and displayed the measured distance in millimeters and Inches on the Oled Display module. Unlike the Ultrasonic Sensor, this Laser Sensor Module can also be used for monitoring the water level, it can be used in security systems, obstacle avoidance robots, and so on. Anyhow, I continued with the experiments, modified the code one more time, and this time I was able to control a 110/220Vac light Bulb, Make sure you wear protective gloves as 220Vac can be really dangerous. You can replace this bulb with a water pump, or any other electrical device that you want to control. The Bulb is turned ON when the distance is less than 5 inches and remains ON until the distance is greater than 10 inches. While performing the experiments, when the Laser Sensor was facing the camera, I could see this light coming out of the sensor which you can’t see with naked eyes, if you have this sensor go ahead and check.

In this tutorial, we will cover,

1. ToF10120 Laser Range Sensor Module Pinout and technical specifications.
2. Complete circuit diagram explanation.
3. Arduino Programming, and finally
4. Testing

using optic rules its possible to calculate far distant distances too by checking movement of lasers dot on screen, but that partially depends on focus of used camera and used lasers degree of direction. anyway still try and learn technique probably will work. ;p

[mr.anonymous]

Hi nice video
What is the field of view for this sensor?

[qozia]

Every amature on YouTube like you is designing pcbs unnecessarily just to shout out to their sponsors! 😂

[yulmerced]

Question: How fast can the sensor update reading? Also will a nano be able to read tof at around 60hz per second and log data for 10hrs?

[MyMohanty]

Is it possible to get the Two PCBs that you designed for the TF10120 laser sensor project? Thanks .

[НикитаФинагин-ън]

Hello, I need help. I wanna try create this project. And now I have problem with code for Arduino IDE. Exactly problem with "SimpleTimer" library. Code doesn't work(

[hazriealkhusyairie]

hi i got problem on timer.setInterval(500L, display_measurement); in the coding. can you explain it thanks

[deepadineshnaik]

What are the main objects used in this model?

Thank you for the effort in making this video, sir. Great project sir!

[giovannimanilardi]

Hi, I should measure the height of water in a well that is 50 meters deep. Could you kindly point me to a laser or ultrasonic sensor capable of such a measurement? Thank you.

Can I use to make safe distance project

[m.sierra]

8:50 every single one of those solder points seems cold to me

[yourevolution]

Did you use ultrasonic sensor in crack measuring?

[filmyzone]

How to find water depth using this sensor?

[yulmerced]

How fast it this sensor read distances?

[LiFeeIsSMusicC]

can you please exlplain what is the IC1 thinkie you always have in the left of your boards, right below the voltage jack ? And if you have the exact model /purchage link it whould be extra helpfull . Thank you immersely for all these amazing videos !!!

[PBGBen]

Great video, only thing I would say is there is not enough clearance on that relay board for high voltage shown.

[thorgraum]

how accurate can this measure? i need microns
