Before purchasing or using laser equipment (including modules, components, or complete machines such as laser cutters and engravers), please consider the following: - These products are intended for professional, educational, industrial, or supervised workshop environments. - Operators should be appropriately trained and understand laser safety practices, including enclosures, signage, PPE, and safe operating procedures where applicable. A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DFR1177:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DFR1177:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The pure solid-state laser radar adopts advanced metasurface lens technology and is based on the continuous-wave Time-of-Flight (cwToF) principle. Coupled with related optical and electrical designs, it achieves wide-angle and high-precision distance measurement. It **supports both UART and USB2.0 communication**, providing outputs in the form of depth maps and infrared grayscale images. With a **resolution of 160x60 and a wide field of view of 108°x40°**, it can **measure distances up to 4.5 meters** and is resistant to ambient light up to 60Klux, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its primary applications include **volume measurement, access control security, people counting, unmanned forklifts, and robot obstacle avoidance**. ![Depth Mapping Visualization](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/2_316581b8205.jpg) Figure: Depth Mapping Visualization **Metasurface Lens Technology** Metasurface lens technology utilizes nanostructures to control the propagation of light, achieving super-resolution imaging, holography, or projection. Unlike traditional cameras that only capture 2D images, this technology can enhance the existing 2D images by adding depth, distance, and directional information, thereby capturing a more comprehensive 3D perspective. **Wide Field of View** The radar offers an impressive 108° horizontal and 40° vertical field of view, allowing it to cover a broad area and capture more detailed information within its range. ![System Field of View (FOV)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/1_4731802d751.jpg) Figure: System Field of View (FOV) **High Resolution** With a resolution of 160x60, the radar can provide detailed depth maps and infrared grayscale images, essential for precise measurements and applications that require high accuracy. **Solid-State Structure** The pure solid-state design ensures long life and durability, eliminating the moving parts found in traditional radars, which can wear out over time. **Ambient Light Resistance** The radar can function effectively in environments with ambient light up to 60Klux, ensuring reliable performance both indoors and outdoors. **Easy Communication** Supporting both UART and USB2.0, this radar is easy to integrate with various systems, enhancing its versatility and ease of use. ### Features - Wide field of view 108°x 40° - 160x60 resolution - Pure solid-state structure, long life - 60Klux ambient light resistance, usable indoors and outdoors - Supports UART communication and USB2.0, easy to use - Horizontal and vertical angular resolutions are 0.675° and 0.683° respectively ### Applications - Volume measurement - Access control security - People counting - Unmanned forklifts - Robot obstacle avoidance ### Specification - Working voltage: 5V - Range: 0.1~4.5m (90% reflectivity white board) - Ranging accuracy: (0.1~3m)@±3cm, (3~4.5m)@±1% - Resolution: 160x60 - Frame rate: 15Fps - Horizontal field of view: 108° - Vertical field of view: 41° - Horizontal angle resolution: 0.675° - Vertical angle resolution: 0.683° - Protection level: IP54 - Ambient light resistance: 60Klux - Working temperature range: -20~60°C - Storage temperature range: -40~85°C - Eye safety certification: IEC60825 Class 1 - Size: 61\*33\*24mm ### Documents - [Product Manual](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/DFR1177ProductManual_30969fc21ef.pdf) - [User Manual](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/DFR1177UserManual_29311e386da.pdf) - [Development Manual](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/DFR1177DevelopmentManual_15975d6627b.pdf) - M1\_Gui host computer ### Parts List - MMPT044-940 Pure Solid-State LiDAR x1 - Type-c to USB A cable x1 ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/D/F/DFR1177-1.jpg)
