VL53L0X ToF Distance Ranging Sensor 2m I2C use for Raspberry Pi Mobile Robot

Description:

• VL53L0X Distance Sensor is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging module based on the VL53L0X from ST, with accurate ranging up to 2m, it is controlled through I2C interface, and pretty low power consumption.

• The VL53L0X is a ToF sensor which embeds the ST’s second generation FlightSense patented technology.

• Unlike conventional ranging sensors, the VL53L0X is able to provide accurate distance measurement whatever the target color and reflectance, achieves better anti-interference capability.

Features

• I2C communication interface, control the module on/off via IO pins

• Onboard voltage translator, compatible with 3.3V/5V operating voltage

• Comes with development resources and manual (examples for Raspberry Pi/Arduino/STM32)

Specifications

• Operating voltage: 3.3V/5V

• Dimension: 20mm × 24mm

• Mounting holes size: 2.0mm

• Ranging distance: 30 ~ 2000mm
