shop/ sparkfun/ lidar-lite v3hp

Garmin LIDAR-Lite v3HP - compact optical distance sensor for fast, accurate ranging. Measures 1m to 40m at 1cm resolution. Good for drones, robots, UAVs, UGVs, and outdoor sensing.

The HP version samples faster (over 1kHz update rate) and draws less current than the older v3, so battery builds run longer. Rugged water-rated housing suits outdoor robotics.
