VL53L0X/VL53L1X V2 Time-of-Flight Laser Distance Sensor Module

Features:

• Time-of-Flight Technology: Measures distance by calculating the travel time of emitted infrared laser light reflected from an object.

• Non-Contact Measurement: Detects object distance without physical contact, making it suitable for automated sensing applications.

• 940nm Infrared Emitter: Uses an infrared VCSEL light source that is invisible to the human eye.

• Digital I²C Interface: Transfers distance measurements to compatible microcontrollers using the I²C communication protocol.

• Compact Sensor Design: Suitable for embedded systems, robotics, and electronic projects with limited installation space.

• Microcontroller Compatibility: Can interface with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, and other supported platforms.

• Configurable Measurement: Supported sensor versions provide configurable measurement timing and ranging modes.

• Low-Power Operation: Suitable for portable and battery-powered projects when configured within the sensor's power requirements.

• Integrated Optical System: Combines laser emission and optical reception for compact distance-sensing applications.
