2. Use LDS25-NB to communicate with IoT Server
2.1 Send data to IoT server via NB-IoT network
The LDS25-NB is equipped with a NB-IoT module, the pre-loaded firmware in LDS25-NB will get environment data from sensors and send the value to local NB-IoT network via the NB-IoT module. The NB-IoT network will forward this value to IoT server via the protocol defined by LDS25-NB.
Below shows the network structure:
There are two version: -GE and -1T version of LDS25-NB.
GE Version: This version doesn't include SIM card or point to any IoT server. User needs to use AT Commands to configure below two steps to set LDS25-NB send data to IoT server.
- Install NB-IoT SIM card and configure APN. See instruction of Attach Network.
- Set up sensor to point to IoT Server. See instruction of Configure to Connect Different Servers.

2.2.2 HEX format Payload(Type=0)
This is the HEX Format. As below:
f863663062798914f4600835135073143f640cce1000000142008c196753fd6a01440089196753faf6014a008c196753f7720144008b186753f3ee0144008a186753f06a0146008d196753ece601470087196753e962015c0088196753e5de01440082186753e13e
If we use the MQTT client to subscribe to this MQTT topic, we can see the following information when the NB sensor uplink data.
Version:
These bytes include the hardware and software version.
Higher byte: Specify Sensor Model: 0x3f for LDS25-NB
Lower byte: Specify the software version: 0x64=100, means firmware version 1.0.0
BAT (Battery Info):
Ex1: 0x0D37 = 3383mV
Distance:
Represents the distance value of the measurement output, the default unit is cm, and the value range parsed as a decimal number is 0-4000. In actual use, when the signal strength value Strength.
Example:
If the data you get from the register is 0x00 0xA5, the distance between the sensor and the measured object is 00A5(H) = 165 (D) = 165cm.
Distance signal strength:
Refers to the signal strength, the default output value will be between 0-65535. When the ranging gear is fixed, the farther the ranging, the lower the signal strength.
In actual use, when the signal strength value Strength≤60, the measured value of Dist is considered unreliable, and the default output is 4500. When the signal strength is greater than 60 and the actual distance is and the actual distance is 45~60m, the output value of Dist is 4500. When the signal strength is greater than 60 and the actual distance is more than 60m, there will be over-period data appearing as 0 or other abnormal values.
Example:
If payload is: 017A(H)=378(D), distance signal strength=378, 378>100,471≠65535, the measured value of Dist is considered credible.
Customers can judge whether they need to adjust the environment based on the signal strength.
LiDAR temp:
Characterize the internal temperature value of the sensor.
Example:
If payload is: 1D(H) <<24>>24=29(D), LiDAR temp=29°C.
If payload is: F2(H) <<24>>24=-14(D), LiDAR temp=-14°C.
Interrupt:
This data field shows if this packet is generated by interrupt or not.
Example:
If byte[0]&0x01=0x00 : Normal uplink packet.
If byte[0]&0x01=0x01 : Interrupt Uplink Packet.
Interrupt Level:
This byte shows whether the interrupt is triggered by a high or low level.
Ex1: 0x00 Interrupt triggered by falling edge (low level)
Ex2: 0x01 Interrupt triggered by rising edge (high level)
TimeStamp:
Unit TimeStamp Example: 672b2846(H) = 1730881606(D)
Put the decimal value into this link(https://www.epochconverter.com)) to get the time.

- AT+INTMOD=3 // Trigger by rising edge
2.5 LiDAR ToF Measurement
2.5.1 Principle of Distance Measurement
The LiDAR probe is based on TOF, namely, Time of Flight principle. To be specific, the product emits modulation wave of near infrared ray on a periodic basis, which will be reflected after contacting object. The product obtains the time of flight by measuring round-trip phase difference and then calculates relative range between the product and the detection object, as shown below.
2.6.2 Distance Measurement Characteristics
With optimization of light path and algorithm, The LiDAR probe has minimized influence from external environment on distance measurement performance. Despite that, the range of distance measurement may still be affected by the environment illumination intensity and the reflectivity of detection object.
TF02-Pro-W Detection Angle Diagram:
Vertical Coordinates: Represents the radius of light spot for The LiDAR probe at different distances. The diameter of light spot depends on the FOV of The LiDAR probe (the term of FOV generally refers to the smaller value between the receiving angle and the transmitting angle), which is calculated as follows:
In the formula above, d is the diameter of light spot; D is detecting range; β is the value of the receiving angle of The LiDAR probe, 3°. Correspondence between the diameter of light spot and detecting range is given in Table below.
If the light spot reaches two objects with different distances, as shown in Figure 3, the output distance value will be a value between the actual distance values of the two objects. For a high accuracy requirement in practice, the above situation should be noticed to avoid the measurement error.
2.6.3 Notice of usage
Possible invalid /wrong reading for LiDAR ToF tech:
- Measure high reflectivity object such as: Mirror, Smooth ceramic tile, static milk surface, will have possible wrong readings.
- While there is transparent object such as glass, water drop between the measured object and the LiDAR sensor, the reading might be wrong.
- The LiDAR probe is cover by dirty things; the reading might be wrong. In this case, need to clean the probe.
- The sensor window is made by Acrylic. Don't touch it with alcohol material. This will destroy the sensor window.

2.7 Clock logging (Since firmware version v1.2.1)
Sometimes when we deploy lots of end nodes in field. We want all sensors sample data at the same time, and upload these data together for analyze. In such case, we can use clock loging feature.
We can use this command to set the start time of data recording and the time interval to meet the requirements of the specific collection time of data.
- AT Command: AT+CLOCKLOG=a,b,c,d
a: 0: Disable Clock logging. 1: Enable Clock Logging
b: Specify First sampling start second: range (0 ~ 3599, 65535) // Note: If parameter b is set to 65535, the log period starts after the node accesses the network and sends packets.
c: Specify the sampling interval: range (0 ~ 255 minutes)
d: How many entries should be uplink on every TDC (max 32)
Note: To disable clock recording, set the following parameters: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,0,0
Example:
AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,1,5
After the node sends the first packet, data is recorded to the memory at intervals of 1 minute. For each TDC uplink, the uplink load will include: battery information + the last 5 memory records (payload + timestamp).
Note: Users need to synchronize the server time before configuring this command. If the server time is not synchronized before this command is configured, the command takes effect only after the node is reset.
- Downlink Command: 0x0A
Format: Command Code (0x0A) followed by 5 bytes.
- Example 1: Downlink Payload: 0A01FFFF0F08 // Set SHT record time: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,15,8
- Example 1: Downlink Payload: 0A0104B00F08 // Set SHT record time: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,1200,15,8
Note: When entering the downlink payload, there must be no Spaces between bytes.
2.8 Example Query saved historical records
- AT Command: AT+CDP
This command can be used to search the saved history, recording up to 32 groups of data, each group of historical data contains a maximum of 100 bytes.
2.9 Uplink log query

Ex2: Downlink payload: 0x0701 //AT+MQOS=1
2.12 Get or set the automatic cleaning interval
Function: It can be set to auto-clean once before each uplink packet or set to auto-clean at regular intervals. (Unit: minute)
Note:If you set it to automatically clean once per uplink packet, it will shorten the length of time that the silicone on the wipers that the sensors can be used to clean is available, so it is recommended to use wipers that are activated once a day. (The factory default is to activate every 1440min)
AT Command: AT+REMODUST
Command Example | Function | Response |
---|---|---|
AT+REMODUST=? | Get automatic cleaning interval | 1,1,1440 OK |
AT+REMODUST=1,1,720 | Setting the cleaning function to start every 12 hours |
