VL53L0X Time-of-Flight Distance Sensor Breakout -VL53L0XV2 Module for ; The VL53L0X is a time-of-flight ranging system integrated into a compact module. This board is a for the VL53L0X, so we recommend careful reading of the VL53L0X datasheet (1MB pdf) before using this product.<br> The VL53L0 uses technology to precisely measure how long it takes for emitted pulses of infrared laser-light to reach the nearest object and be reflected back to a detector, so it can be considered a tiny, -contained lidar system. This time-of-flight (TOF) measurement enables it to accurately determine the absolute distance to a without the object's reflectance greatly influencing the measurement.<br> The sensor can report distances of up to 2 m (6.6 ft) with 1 mm resolution, but effective range and accuracy (noise) heavily on ambient conditions and characteristics like reflectance and size, as as the sensor configuration. (The sensor's accuracy is specified to range from +/-3% at to over +/-10% in less optimal conditions.)<br> Ranging measurements are available through the sensor's IC (TWI) interface, which is also used to configure sensor settings, and the sensor provides two additional pins: a shutdown input and an interrupt output.<br> The VL53L0X is a great IC, but small, leadless, LGA package makes it difficult for the typical student or hobbyist to . It also operates at a recommended voltage of 2.8 V, which can make interfacing difficult for Minicontrollers operating at 3.3 V or 5 V. Our breakout board addresses these issues, making it easier to get started using the sensor, while keeping the overall size as small as possible.<br> PIN Description<br> VDD Regulated 2.8 V output. Almost 150 mA is available to external components. (If you want to bypass the internal regulator, you can this pin as a 2.8 V input with VIN disconnected.)<br> VIN This is the main 2.6 V to 5.5 V supply connection. The SCL and SDA level shifters pull the IC lines high to this level.<br> GND The ground (0 V) connection for your supply. Your IC control source must also share a common ground with this board.<br> SDA Level-shifted IC data line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V<br> SCL Level-shifted IC clock line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V<br> XSHUT This pin is an -low shutdown input; the board pulls it up to VDD to enable the sensor by default. Driving this pin low puts the sensor into hardware standby. This input is not level-shifted.<br> Color:purple<br> material:plastic<br> Package includes :<br> 1 x -VL53L0XV2V L53L0X Time-of-Flight Distance Sensor<br> Note: Light and different displays may the color of the item in the a little different from the real thing. The measurement allowed error is +/- 1-3cm.
