Open-source hardware design files for the ProtoCentral TMF8829 48×32 dToF Depth Imager Breakout — a multi-zone direct time-of-flight (dToF) board based on the ams OSRAM TMF8829.
The TMF8829 streams a full depth image — 1,536 zones (48 × 32) at up to 15 fps — over I²C, with two integrated Class-1 eye-safe VCSEL emitters, an 80° field of view and ranging out to 11 m, from a module smaller than a thumbnail. This board adds dual Qwiic connectors, an onboard 1.8 V regulator with selectable VIO, and both I²C and SPI break-out headers.
