Dirt Cheap LiDAR Detector
The Dirt Cheap LiDAR Detector is an small device which uses PIN silicon infrared diodes, a Schmitt Trigger, and some math to detect the TrueDepth Dot Grid Lattice LiDAR projected from the backs of iPhone Pros, and possibly other LiDAR sources too!
I originally made this because Samy Kamkar inspired me with his laser mic talk and then fellow hackers at DEF CON discouraged. I did it anyway after pointing my phone at a flipper zero a few months later and remembering all of that.
I wrote a couple of blog posts for my employer about the hardware and firmware design process, you can read those here and here.
Features
- Can operate standalone (USB-C)
- Plugs into the Flipper Zero (requires 5V rail and installing the app)
- 6 discrete IR PIN silicon photodiodes
- iPhone Pro TrueDepth LiDAR detection
- Optional RGB detection indication
- Optional super bright white LED pair for lens dazzling upon detection
When can I get one?!
