Sensor VL53L1X Time of Flight (ToF)
Informação do fabricante:
An all-singing, all-dancing time of flight distance sensor that uses PEW PEW LASERS (low-powered ones), our VL53L1X breakout is easy to use with Raspberry Pi or Arduino alike!
These low-power-laser-based time of flight sensors have great accuracy and sampling frequency, and this particular sensor has a wide range of detection, from 4cm to 4 metres.
Use it as a proximity sensor, for presence detection, or as a laser tape measure! The speed, accuracy, and range, make this sensor ideal for collision-avoidance on robots.

Up to 50Hz ranging frequency
+/- 25mm accuracy (+/- 20mm in the dark)
I2C interface (address 0x29)
3.3V or 5V compatible
Reverse polarity protection
Compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi, and Arduino
Python library
Kit includes:
- VL53L1X breakout
- 1x5 male header
- 1x5 female right-angle header
Software:
Our Python library makes it straightforward to use your time of flight sensor, providing methods for short, medium, and long range, and returning distances in mm. We've also included a couple of examples that graph distance sensed, and set a threshold distance at which events can be triggered.
Notes:
- Dimensions: 19x19x3.2mm (LxWxH).
- If you want to use multiple VL53L1X breakouts together you can (temporarily) change the I2C addresses using this Python script. Addresses changed like this won't persist after a reboot.
- Alternatively, you could use an I2C multiplexer which will let you use multiple breakouts with the same address. This example shows how to use these breakouts with a TCA9548A I2C Multiplexer.
