Lidar Distance Sensor - AndyMark Standard Sensors

AndyMark’s line of Standard Sensors is designed specifically for FRC and FTC teams. Using standard 1.5” pitch mounting holes, the sensor’s small footprint fits nicely on a 1” wide tube. Easily swap out sensors using I2C or CAN communication, and head into matches worry-free with locking connectors.

When to use this sensor

• Accurate distance measurement to objects up to 3ft (I2C) or 13ft (CAN) away.
• Positioning or alignment tasks where reliable range feedback is needed.
• Detecting approach or presence with more range than a proximity-only sensor.
• Applications that need consistent readings under different lighting conditions.

Typical integrations

• Position an intake or arm relative to a target object.
• Detect when a game piece is within a shooter or feeder.
• Maintain consistent spacing in autonomous driving.
• Monitor travel distance of moving mechanisms in real time.
