Time of Flight Micro-LIDAR Distance Sensor (VL53L0X)

../_images/21_VL53L0X_module.png

The VL53L0X module is an advanced time-of-flight (ToF) ranging sensor that offers highly accurate distance measurement, regardless of the target’s color and reflectance. Manufactured by STMicroelectronics, this sensor excels in measuring absolute distances up to 2 meters, making it well-suited for various applications in fields such as robotics, drones, and wearable devices.

Specification

  • Supply Voltage: 3.3V or 5V

  • PCB Size: 11 x 25mm

  • Communication method: I2C

  • ToF ranging length: ≤2M

Pinout

  • VIN: This is the power pin.

  • GND: Common ground for power and logic.

  • SCL: I2C clock pin, connect to your microcontrollers I2C clock line.

  • SDA: I2C data pin, connect to your microcontrollers I2C data line.

  • GPIO1: Programmable interrupt output. This output is not level-shifted.

  • XSHUT: This pin is an active-low shutdown input; Driving this pin low puts the sensor into hardware standby. This input is not level-shifted.
