VL53L1X TOF Ranging Flight Time Sensor Module

The VL53L1X TOF Ranging Flight Time Sensor Module is an advanced laser-based distance sensor that delivers precise and high-speed measurements using Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology. Powered by STMicroelectronics’ VL53L1X chip, it measures absolute distances up to 4 meters with remarkable accuracy and stability, regardless of target color or reflectivity. Its compact size, low power consumption, and easy I2C communication make it ideal for applications in robotics, drones, automation systems, gesture recognition, and smart home devices.

Unlike traditional infrared sensors, the VL53L1X emits a 940nm invisible laser for safe, reliable, and consistent detection, even in various lighting environments. It’s fully compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and STM32 platforms, making it a great addition for makers and developers seeking precision distance sensing.
