This breakout board provides a convenient way to start using the popular VL53L0X, a Time-of-Flight Ranging and Distance Sensor Module. The VL53L0X is a new generation Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging module housed in the smallest package on the market today. It provides accurate distance measurement (up to 2m) whatever the target reflectances are-unlike conventional technologies.
The board includes an I2C interface for reading the measured values using our preferred microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, ESP8266) and single-board computers (e.g., Raspberry Pi).
This high-precision sensor can measure distance with 5% accuracy in the 20 to 120cm range!
The VL53L0X uses ST s FlightSense technology to measure how long it takes for emitted pulses of a tiny infrared laser to reach the nearest object and be reflected back to a detector. As both the laser emitter and detector are embedded in the VL53L0X package, if offers a self-contained solution for LiDAR systems.
