5.4 Descriptions of default Output Data
Dist(Distance): Represents the output of the distance value detected by TFmini Plus, with the unit in cm
by default. This value is interpreted into the decimal value in the range of 0-1200. When the signal strength
is lower than 100 or equal to 65535, the detection is unreliable, TFmini Plus will set distance value to 0.
Strength：Represents the signal strength with the default value in the range of 0-65535. After the distance
mode is set, the longer the measurement distance is, the lower the signal strength will be; the lower the
reflectivity is, the lower the signal strength will be. When the signal strength is lower than 100 or equal to
65535, the detection is unreliable, TFmini Plus will set distance value to 0.
Temp(Temperature): Represents the chip temperature of TFmini Plus. Degree centigrade = Temp / 8 -256
