I have a TOFSense F2-P and F2-mini and so far I’m not impressed, has anyone managed to get these working?
Aside from their shoddy documentation and wacko (unlabelled) JST-GH connections, their configuration app “NAssistant” just crashes on me as soon as I try to configure the device over the serial port. I can see RX data flowing in over my TTL link, but as soon as I enable “Recognize” in their app it falls over.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated, including just dumping theses and getting something better!

I have TOFSense F2-P and it works great for me. No issues at all.
NAssistant is not perfest - there is “noChart” version and that one works OK.
Hmm ok, that’s good news at least, Can I ask what version of NAssistant you’re running? I have v4.1 and it just crashes on “recognize”.
Sorry, this no chart is for micoair.
For TOFSense I use TOFAssistant 4.4.0.4 or NAssistant 4.11.0
I think first on is for “clone” I bought some time ago from waveshare
BTW - “real life” usable range is about 30m over terrain (grass/dirt) with daylight, so 50m seems purely theoretical.
Adam you’re a legend, I hadn’t realised it was a generic item, and the Waveshare documentation is really good compared to Nooploop’s. I’ll definite buy from them instead if I need any more.
I’ve just compromised and left the F2-P on the default UART connection rather than I2C and got it working. Thanks for the heads up about the 30m usable, I’ve set that as the RNGFND1_MAX.
Thanks again,

Before You buy waveshare - not sure if this is once case or not, but my waveshare version is slightly different, seems to be some older/different version of this ildar and has worse performance in terms of max range. On pictuires it looks the same, but in reality they are not. But it is also possible that my waveshare sensor is some clone of waveshare. Also they use different laser wavelenght.
