VL53L1X Distance Sensor User Manual
OVERVIEW
VL53L1X Distance Sensor is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging module based on the
VL53L1X from ST, with accurate ranging up to 4m and fast ranging frequency up to 50
Hz, it is controlled through I2C interface, and pretty low power consumption.
The VL53L1X is a ToF sensor which embeds the ST's third generation FlightSense
patented technology. Compared with the second generation VL53L0X, the VL53L1X
extends the ToF ranging distance up to 4m, and features fast ranging frequency up to
50 Hz.
Unlike conventional ranging sensors, the VL53L1X integrates physical infrared
filters and optics, uses ST's latest generation ToF technology which allows absolute
distance measurement whatever the target color and reflectance, achieves better anti-
interference capability.
FEATURES
