M30 Development Kit

iToF Development Kit powered by LM10 Programmable Optics

A New Era For 3D Sensing

M30 Key Features

The M30 Lidar Module Reference Design unveils exciting opportunities in 3D sensing. Utilizing Light Control Metasurface (LCM™) solid-state beamforming technology, the M30 achieves a range of over 25 meters, demonstrating reliable performance both outdoors and in environments with reflectors or multipath interference, all while being compact—smaller than a credit card. This Reference Design exemplifies how solid-state LCM beamforming modules can revolutionize the development of affordable, high-performance lidar systems featuring remarkable software programmability.

Out-of-the-Box

Developers want to quickly set up the tools and hardware to evaluate and learn about the new M30. The Development Kit includes software, cables, and power supply to simplify this process, allowing developers to focus on their applications.

Evaluation

For key performance indicators (KPIs) such as resolution, point cloud quality, multipath performance, and ROI capabilities.

Prototyping

A LiDAR system user or developer should next look to incorporate the M30 into a possible application or use case, creating a proof of concept to confirm the system’s functionality and offer an initial validation demo.

Demonstration

Finally, to demonstrate applications utilizing the ROS framework or an internal framework via integration with APIs.

Next Generation Hardware, Defined By Software
