GY-53 VL53L0X Laser ToF Flight Time Ranging Sensor Module

You can utilize the GY-53 VL53L0X Laser ToF Flight Time Ranging Sensor Module for simple device integration and simple gesture detection applications. Any application requiring a 2.8 to 5V supply can utilize the VL53L0X satellite board because of its 2.8V regulator and level shifters.

There is no other Time of Flight distance sensor like the VL53L0X! The sensor has a corresponding sensor and a minuscule, undetectable laser source inside. The “time of flight,” or how long it took for the light to return to the sensor, is something that the VL53L0X can measure. It works well for measuring the distance only to the surface directly in front of it since it employs a very narrow light source. Unlike sonars that bounce ultrasonic waves, the ‘cone’ of sense is very narrow. Unlike IR distance sensors that try to measure the amount of light bounced, the VL53L0x is much more precise and doesn’t have linearity problems or ‘double imaging’ where you can’t tell if an object is very far or very close.

The PCB section supporting the VL53L0X module is perforated so that developers can break off the mini PCB for use in a 2.8V supply application using flying leads. This makes it easier to integrate into development and evaluation devices due to its small form factor. The module is designed for low-power operation. Ranging measurements can be automatically performed at user-defined intervals. Multiple thresholds and interrupt schemes are supported to minimize host operations. Serial port and PWM to read the data code: STM32, Arduino, 51 MCU. Note that due to the infrared will be affected by the outside light, in the light will affect the maximum range of measurement, will not affect the measurement accuracy. Default configuration: serial baud rate 9600, automatic output, high precision mode. When using, please remove the sensor film.
