Description

The Scanse Sweep is a scanning LIDAR sensor designed to bring powerful 360-degree sensing capabilities to everyone for an affordable price. With a built-in LIDAR-Lite, the Sweep possesses scanning capabilities that allow you to adjust the rotation speed on the fly so you can slow it down for more detail, or speed it up for faster reaction times! With a range of 40 meters, a sample rate of 1,000 samples/sec, the Scanse Sweep is a perfect sensor for Robotics, UAVs, site surveying, and Internet of Things (IoT)/security applications.

The Sweep is a single-plane scanner. This means that as its head rotates anti-clockwise, it records data in a single plane. The beam starts out at approximately 12.7mm in diameter and expands by approximately 0.5 degrees. Sweep can be connected to low-level microcontrollers directly using its serial port, or to a PC using the provided USB-to-serial converter. It even has two serial port connectors with identical signals, which allows for more mounting options.

Note: The Scanse Sweep is designated as Class 1 during all procedures of operation. However, operating the sensor without its optics or housing or making modifications to the housing can result in direct exposure to laser radiation and the risk of permanent eye damage. Direct eye contact should be avoided, and under no circumstances should you ever stare straight into the emitter.

Note: The Scanse Sweep is available for pre-order. We expect orders to start shipping in the next couple of weeks. Adding a pre-order product to an order may cause a delay. Be sure to uncheck “ship complete order” in your trolley to avoid delays in shipping in-stock items.
