Where to Buy

Hardware Setup

TFmini can be connected to any unused serial port (UART), such as: TELEM2, TELEM3, GPS2 etc.

Parameter Setup

Configure the serial port on which the lidar will run using SENS_TFMINI_CFG. There is no need to set the baud rate (this is hard coded in the sensor driver as only one rate is supported).

:::note If the configuration parameter is not available in QGroundControl then the tfmini driver may not be in firmware. For information on how to add it see:
