2 month agoArduino-Compatible Laser Distance Sensor Module for Smart Measurement Applications
Modern robotics, automation, and IoT projects demand accurate real-time distance feedback, especially when environments are complex or measurement ranges are wide. Our Arduino-compatible Laser Distance Module is built to provide dependable performance whether your project operates indoors or over long outdoor distances. Supporting 0.03 to 200 meters and millimeter-level resolution, this module delivers capabilities previously limited to industrial-grade systems.
This device features a high-visibility green laser (510–550 nm), providing strong optical performance even when detecting targets with bright surfaces or low reflectivity. If needed, a red laser configuration (610–690 nm) is also available to suit cost-sensitive scenarios.

Designed for seamless Arduino development, the module includes a UART interface and can also communicate using RS232, RS485, or Bluetooth when required for advanced control systems.
Built for Engineers Who Need More Than Basic Sensors
Ultrasonic modules struggle with soft surfaces. TOF sensors fall short on long-range measurement. Consumer-grade LiDAR often lacks consistency.
This laser distance sensor Arduino module solves these limitations:
| Technology | Weakness | LDJ Module Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrasonic | Diffuse reflections, short range | Accurate focal laser, up to 200m |
| TOF Camera | Expensive and heavy | Lightweight, compact, power-efficient |
| Low-cost LiDAR | Strong noise and low precision | ±3–5mm stable accuracy |
| IRSensors | Only near-field | Long-range capability |
If your design requires reliable data, this module becomes the preferred measurement engine.

Quick and Clear Arduino Wiring

Only four pins are required to communicate with Arduino:
| Module Wire | Description | Arduino Pin |
|---|---|---|
| Black | GND | GND |
| Red | Power +3.3V | 3.3V |
| Yellow | RX | TX |
| Green | TX | RX |
TX from sensor must connect to RX on Arduino
No level shifter needed when running 3.3V logic
Integrate, upload, monitor — no additional interface electronics required.
Green vs. Red Laser — Choose Based on Project Needs
| Feature | Green Laser (510–550 nm) | Red Laser (610–690 nm) |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Extremely bright | Moderate |
| Outdoor & bright environment | Excellent | Good |
| Cost | Slightly higher | Lower |
| Recommended use cases | Robotics, scanning, industrial | Smart DIY, indoor automation |
If your application involves sunlight, glossy materials, or high dynamic conditions — the green laser version is the superior choice.
