Hi Ricky,

FUll disclosure I am a complete noob at Lidar and Object Avoidance.

I followed your steps to configure my TFMini Plus. After I added the 5A 05 0A 01 6A
5A 04 11 6F commands, the lines in the TFMini Plus GUI stopped showing and the red light in on the TFMini = (I beleive the RX light) stopped blinking. The lines were showing before and th eRX light blinked before I enterd the commands. Do you think I have bricked my TF?

No, you didnā€™t. It means you have successfully changed the interface from UART to IIC, that is why you are unable to see the data in GUI. Because TTL-USB converter canā€™t be used anymore.

How can I fall back to UART from I2C on TF02 pro?
Can anyone, please help me to fix this?

i am willing to know, but i think you need to use the arduino for that.

I bought the sensor from Mouser already configured in i2c mode, but I couldnā€™t make it work in i2c mode. How do I access the GUI to send commands to set as UART or factory reset?

Now you need a board with IIC interface to talk to the sensor and send commands.
