VL53L1X ToF Laser Distance Sensor - Overview

VL53L1X Laser Distance Sensor

The VL53L1X ToF Laser Distance Sensor is a high-performance Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging sensor. It uses invisible Class 1 laser emitter (eye-safe) to measure distances up to 4 meters with incredible speed and accuracy in various ambient lightning or reflectance conditions. The sensor is compact and easy to integrate into a wide range of projects - from detection systems and service robots to drones for landing, hovering and ceiling detection, and even vending machines. It features I²C communication and supports quick plug-and-play connectivity with Qwiic (formerly easyC), making setup fast and straightforward.
