Distance measurement with laser sensor

Other Hardware Sensors
1

Hi everybody

I want to do a laser distance measurement with Arduino.
But there is no idea how to do it with arduino.
The maximum distance I want to measure is 40 meters.
I'm happy if you help me.

The simple way is to use a Lidar module like this.
A cheaper but more problematic way might be to get and hack one of these so it can be controlled and read by Arduino.

Thanks Riva,

I checked the sensor you suggested, but the price is a bit high.
Does this sensor work?

Sorry, I have no idea if it would work okay. Maybe someone else has used one of those who can help you more.

Hello,

You could use the LeddarOne, it's not laser but LED (eye safe) and in your 40 meter range...

There are even some code examples available for it:

I work for them so if you have any questions don't hesitate :wink:
