Description

VL53L0X Time-of-Flight Distance Sensor Breakout GY-VL53L0XV2 Module for Arduino; The VL53L0X is a time-of-flight ranging system integrated into a compact module. This board is a carrier for the VL53L0X, so we recommend careful reading of the VL53L0X datasheet (1MB pdf) before using this product.
The VL53L0 uses technology to precisely measure how long it takes for emitted pulses of infrared laser-light to reach the nearest object and be reflected back to a detector, so it can be considered a tiny, self-contained lidar system. This time-of-flight (TOF) measurement enables it to accurately determine the absolute distance to a target without the object’s reflectance greatly influencing the measurement.
