VL53L0X Laser Distance Sensor – 2m Range I2C Interface

Description

Description

The VL53L0X Laser Distance Sensor is a compact time-of-flight module designed for precise distance measurement up to 2m. It uses a Class3 eye-safe laser and is independent of target reflectivity, ensuring consistent readings across different surfaces. The sensor operates at 2.85V and communicates via an I2C interface, making it compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers. Its small form factor allows integration in robotics, obstacle detection, automated control, and distance monitoring applications. The module provides reliable measurements with fast response suitable for both horizontal and vertical sensing setups.
