How the TS1224 UART laser rangefinder module Works

The TS1224 UART laser rangefinder module uses pulse laser ranging technology to calculate target distance. The module emits a 905nm infrared laser beam toward the target object. After reflection, the laser signal returns to the receiver inside the module.

The internal processor calculates the time difference between emission and reception of the laser pulse, allowing the system to determine the target distance accurately.

d=c×t2d=\frac{c\times t}{2}d=2c×t​

Where:

• $d$ = measured distance
• $c$ = speed of light
• $t$ = round-trip travel time of the laser pulse

Pulse-based ranging technology is widely used in industrial and outdoor applications because of its strong long-distance capability and stable performance in complex environments.

The 905nm wavelength used by the TS1224 belongs to Class I eye-safe laser standards, helping ensure safe operation during integration and usage.
