Does TFmini S lidar affect the magnetic field of the GPS in my hexacopter?

[ppoirier]

Tfmini are making interference in the GPS frequency band, hence it require shielding if you cannot get the GPS receiver far enough.

Best is to use copper tape and wrap around unit and cover back and connector. I used a single side pcb on the POC

Avoidance experiments with the new POC and Benewake TFmini-S

[image] A few month ago, I wrote about setting up an avoidance system using affordable 12 Meter Indoor and 6 Meter Outdoor Time of Flight (ToF) rangefinder made by Benewake : the TFMINI. At the time, there was only the serial version available, and in order to add functionality , I used an Arduino to make it talk I2C. Based on this configuration, I decided to push the concept and constructed an avoidance system using up to 10 of these sensors, …
