LIDAR-Lite v3HP

The LIDAR-Lite v3HP is a compact, high-performance optical distance measurement LIDAR sensor from Garmin™. It represents the next generation of optical ranging, building on the popular LIDAR-Lite v3 by enhancing performance, improving power efficiency, and incorporating a rugged, IPX7-rated housing. It is the ideal, cost-effective ranging solution for drones, robots, and unmanned vehicles (UAV/UGV) applications.

A Faster and More Efficient Lidar Sensor

The "HP" in v3HP stands for High Performance, and it delivers two critical upgrades over the previous v3 model:

• Higher-Speed Sampling: The v3HP can sample much faster, at rates greater than 1kHz. This represents a significant improvement over the 500Hz maximum rate of the v3, enabling quicker measurements and smoother tracking of fast-moving objects.
• Improved Power Efficiency: This model is substantially more power-efficient, consuming 40mA less current than its predecessor.
  • Idle: 65mA (v3HP) vs. 105mA (v3)
  • Acquiring: 85mA (v3HP) vs. 130mA (v3)

Core Performance and Interface

The LIDAR-Lite v3HP features a ranging capability of 1 meter to 40 meters with an accuracy of ±2.5cm (at distances greater than 2m). It operates at 5VDC (6V max) and utilizes an edge-emitting, 905nm (1.3W) single-stripe laser transmitter.

Like the v3, the v3HP remains highly user-configurable, allowing you to fine-tune the balance between accuracy, operating range, and measurement time to fit your specific application. It provides two standard communication interfaces, I²C and PWM, which are accessible via the attached 200mm cable.
