Distance Sensor (ToF-VL53L0CX)

Distance Sensor (ToF-VL53L0CX)

SKU:AX22-0015

This AX22-sized board places ST’s VL53L0CX laser Time-of-Flight sensor on a compact 22 × 22 mm PCB, giving your project millimetre-accurate, eye-safe distance readings over I²C. An onboard regulator and bidirectional level shifters let any 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V microcontroller talk to the sensor hassle-free, while the factory-calibrated SPAD array measures absolute ranges out to 4 m in under 30 ms. Drop it into any AX22 backplane to add precise proximity sensing, gesture recognition, or collision avoidance to robots, smart interfaces, or interactive art with just a few library calls in Arduino, MicroPython, or MicroBlocks.
