Gravity VL53L0X ToF Distance Sensor up to 2m

The DFRobot Gravity VL53L0X distance sensor is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) range module based on the ST VL53L0X. The distance sensor has a range of up to 2m and a fast scanning time of up to 50Hz. The sensor is controlled via the I2C interface and also has a low power consumption. You can reverse the connection cable by plugging in a Dupont cable M-M 10cm to male. This allows you to use it on an Arduino UNO.

Features of Gravity VL53L0X ToF distance sensor:

• I2C communication interface, module on/off control via IO pins
• Logic level 3.3V and 5V compatible
• Detailed user manual in English available
• Sample programs for Raspberry Pi / Arduino / STM32 available

Application examples Gravity VL53L0X ToF distance sensor:

• Mobile robot (fast distance measurement, obstacle detection, wall following)
• User recognition for switching on and off and locking/unlocking devices such as PCs/laptops/tablets
• Drones (landing aid, hovering, ceiling detection)
• Intelligent building and lighting (person recognition, 1D gesture recognition)
• Camera (autofocus improvement in poor light conditions, video focus tracking assistance)
