WaveShare VL53L1X ToF distance sensor up to 4m

The VL53L1X distance sensor is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) distance module based on the VL53L1X from ST. The distance sensor has a range of up to 4 meters and a fast sampling rate of up to 50 Hz. The sensor is controlled via the I2C interface and has low power consumption. It features a PH2.0 mm connector, allowing you to easily connect self-crimped cables to the sensor. The VL53L1X is a ToF sensor that integrates ST's patented third-generation FlightSense technology. Compared to the second-generation VL53L0X, the VL53L1X extends the ToF range by up to 4 meters and offers a fast sampling rate of up to 50 Hz.

Features of the VL53L1X ToF distance sensor:

• I2C communication interface, control of the module on/off via IO pins
• Suitable only for 3.3 V logic levels
• Detailed user manual available in English
• Sample programs available for Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and STM32

Application examples of the VL53L1X ToF distance sensor:

• Mobile robots (fast distance measurement, obstacle detection, wall tracking)
• User detection for turning devices like PCs, laptops, and tablets on and off, as well as locking/unlocking
• Drones (landing assistance, hovering, ceiling detection)
• Smart buildings and lighting (person detection, 1D gesture recognition)
• Cameras (autofocus enhancement in low light conditions, video focus tracking assistance)
