VL53L0X Distance Sensor User Manual
OVERVIEW
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
➢
Version: V1.0.0, Date: 2018.06.27
