Introducing Grove - Time of Flight Distance Sensor (VL53L0X): the easy-to-use and highly sophisticated time of flight distance sensor! This device features a fully integrated miniature module with a 940 nm laser VCSEL, a ranging sensor with an advanced embedded microcontroller, and fast, accurate distance ranging.
The VL53L0X is a new generation Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging module housed in the smallest package on the market today, providing accurate distance measurement whatever the target reflectances, unlike conventional technologies. It can measure absolute distances up to 2m, setting a new benchmark in ranging performance levels, and opening the door to various new applications.
The VL53L0X integrates a leading-edge SPAD array (Single Photon Avalanche Diodes) and embeds ST’s second-generation Flight SenseTM patented technology.
The VL53L0X’s 940 nm VCSEL emitter (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser), is totally invisible to the human eye, coupled with internal physical infrared filters, it enables longer-ranging distances, higher immunity to ambient light, and better robustness to cover glass optical crosstalk.
Grove - Time of Flight Distance Sensor - VL53L0X is a high-speed, high-accuracy, and long-range ToF distance sensor based on VL53L0X.
What is Grove?
Grove makes it easier to connect, experiment, and simplify the prototyping process. No jumpers or soldering are required. Not only are these open hardware, but we also have open-source software.
