## Description

Perceiving the world as a series of disconnected dots, single-point sensors leave vast blind spots and thus often miss critical obstacles. The TF-NOVA Line Laser LiDAR is engineered to eliminate this fundamental flaw. By projecting a wide 14° "curtain" of laser light, it creates a continuous line of detection. At a distance of 1 meter, this line covers an area of 25cm x 1.7cm—perfect for ensuring nothing slips through. This represents a new dimension of perception for automated machines.

**Line-Shaped Detection**

Features a unique 14° horizontal by 1° vertical Field of View (FoV), creating a "laser line" of detection. It reliably spots thin objects like chair legs, wires, or pallet edges that single-point sensors would easily miss.

**Stable Outdoor Detection**

Built on Pulse Time-of-Flight (PToF) technology, the TF-NOVA delivers stable and accurate measurements up to 14 meters, even in 100Klux direct sunlight or on dark, low-reflectivity surfaces.

**Incredibly Compact & Lightweight**

Smaller than an AA battery and weighing under 5g, its tiny footprint allows for seamless integration into space-constrained and weight-sensitive applications like drones, gimbals, and compact robotics.

**Flexible & Easy Integration**

Equipped with UART, I2C, and a configurable I/O mode, it connects directly to platforms like Arduino or Raspberry Pi. The I/O mode can trigger a simple high/low signal, dramatically reducing the main controller's data processing workload.

**Class 1 Eye-Safe**

The 905nm VCSEL light source is classified as EN60825 Class 1, ensuring safety for use in consumer products, educational settings, and public spaces.

**High Update Rate for Dynamic Tasks**

With a configurable frame rate up to 900Hz, it can track fast-moving objects or provide real-time feedback for high-speed robotic applications.
