TOF VL53L0/1XV2 Time-of-Flight Laser Ranging Sensor

From the shop's description

TOF VL53L0/1XV2 Time-of- Flight Laser Ranging Sensor The TOF VL53L0/VL53L1XV2 Time-of-Flight Laser Ranging Sensor is a compact distance-measuring module designed for accurate, non-contact object detection. It uses an infrared laser emitter and a receiver to calculate distance by measuring the time taken for emitted light to reflect off an object and return to the sensor. Unlike conventional infrared sensors that estimate distance based on reflected light intensity, ToF technology measures the light’s travel time, making it suitable for a wide range of electronic sensing applications. The module communicates with microcontrollers and development boards through the I²C interface, allowing it to integrate with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other compatible systems. The VL53L0X can measure distances up to approximately 2 meters, while the VL53L1X can reach up to approximately 4 meters under suitable conditions. Its compact design, low power consumption, and digital output make it useful for robotics, smart devices, automated systems, and embedded projects. Actual measurement performance depends on the sensor version, target reflectivity, ambient light, and operating conditions. Features: Time-of-Flight laser distance measurement.
