## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DFR1219:1` (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/DFR1219:1.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)

## Description

The YDLIDAR GS5 is a solid-state LiDAR sensor engineered to overcome the fragility of mechanical LiDARs in demanding environments. It offers over 10,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, featuring a 0.54° angular resolution and an 85° wide-angle field of view for comprehensive environmental perception. With an effective detection range spanning 70mm to 1000mm, this compact sensor (48.5mm × 25mm × 13.5mm) is designed for AGVs, service robots, and industrial automation. The GS5 maintains reliable performance, withstanding direct sunlight and vibrations while mapping obstacles with precision down to 6mm.

**Wide Application Compatibility**

The GS5’s 85° FOV provides broad coverage for comprehensive obstacle mapping, while its 70mm minimum blind zone ensures accurate close-range detection. The included Point Cloud Viewer software offers real-time visualization, data logging, and debugging, simplifying system integration and testing.

**High-Precision Distance Measurement**

With an exceptional angular resolution of 0.54°, the GS5 can detect objects as small as 6mm in diameter. It delivers multi-stage accuracy, maintaining =3% error within 70-300mm, =5% at 300-600mm, and =8% up to 1000mm. The sensor's stable performance under varying lighting conditions (resisting up to 25klux sunlight) ensures reliable operation in diverse environments.

**Flexible System Integration**

The sensor communicates via a standard UART interface, ensuring compatibility with microcontrollers, PLCs, and computers. The included USB adapter enables immediate PC connection for evaluation, while sensor chaining capability allows up to 3 units to operate on a single UART line. Additionally, a Linux SDK is available for developers to build custom applications.
