Another device

A project log for Peek inside UNI-T UT390B+

Much cleverer people hacked the orginal UT390B laser range finder but no-one seems to have published what we know about the UT390+.

Hi everyone,

meanwhile I got some samples from another device.

It's brand is "NSCE Laser" and Type is "NS-XX"

XX stands for Number 20 to 60 which tells the maximum ranging distance.

With the device I got the description of the communication protocol for a included serial interface. The device works at 5V and communications works with an arduino.

On the last picture you can see RX and TX on the left corner.

It uses also the STM 32F MCU.

I'm thinking of ordering a bigger number of the device if someone else is interestet in I could organize a collective order.

The only thing is that I'm living in Germany, so I don't know if it makes sense that someone outside Europe takes part, although I would foreward the devices to other countrys.

StefanM this is excellent work - I'm so glad I shared my unsuccessful work now! Could you let people know the prices you think each model would cost delivered to you? 

Would you be kind enough to share example code used on the Arduino to communicate with the NS-XXs and perhaps what commands and responses you have been able to acheive?
