Finally, a reasonably sized, reasonably priced, high performance laser for robotics. This fantastic sensor offers both serial (RS-232) and USB interfaces to provide extremely accurate laser scans. The field-of-view for this detector is 240 degrees and the angular resolution is ~.36 degrees with a scanning refresh rate of up to 10Hz. Distances are reported from 20mm to 4 meters. Power is a very reasonable 500mA at 5V.

More Details:

The sensor comes with diagnostic software and detailed information on the simple serial protocol used to manipulate the readings, turn on/off the laser, and interact with this rich sensor. The sensor also includes necessary wiring hardware to interface to the sensor via a serial connection. Additional cables can be purchased if necessary.

Dimensions:

The sensor has an RS-232 compatible interface as well as USB. The RS-232 measures roughly -6.3V meaning it is likely internally driven by a 3.3V charge pump chip for the RS-232 interface level shifting. This means it is best to interact at RS-232 levels (spec says -10 to 10V) when using the serial interface.
