The Distance Measurement Sensor for Optimal AntiCollision
The TeraRanger Duo is a fullycalibrated distancemeasurement sensor
that combines infrared TimeofFlight (ToF) with ultrasound technology to
detect any surface.
The sensor is simple to connect and use with one of its interfaces: UART,
SPI or I/O, plus USB by using our adapter. It just streams out digital
values in mm for both sensors simple! There is a driver already available
for ROS (Robot Operating System).
In addition, the TeraRanger Duo’s onboard processor has user space
available if you would like to modify the output protocol or implement your
own algorithm (please request the SDK in case).

Infrared Time-of-flight (TOF), Ultrasound
14m (in non-direct sunlight conditions, ≥ 6m otherwise) for ToF,
Sonar up to 7.65m
1kHz (in speed mode) - up to 600Hz (in precision mode), Sonar 1-20Hz
NB: the ratio between speed ToF/sonar can change according to
requests (default is ToF in precision mode and sonar at 1Hz)
0.5cm for ToF, 1cm for Sonar
± 2cm (in precision mode) for ToF
3.4° for ToF, usual flame shape for Sonar (larger than 3.4°)
