This Sparkfun distance sensor breakout uses the next generation VL53L1X TOF (Time of Flight) sensor module to enable you to take high-precision measurements at long ranges for its size. The VL53L1X uses a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) to emit an infrared laser to time the reflection to the target. This means that you will be able to measure the distance to an object from 40mm to 4m with millimeter resolution! To make it even easier to get your measurements, all communication is done exclusively via I2C, using our handy Qwiic system, so no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we have still broken out 0.1" pins if you prefer to use a breadboard.
Each VL53L1X sensor has an accuracy of 1mm with an accuracy of +/-5mm and a minimum reading distance of this sensor is 4cm. The field of view for this small outbreak is quite narrow with 15°-27° at a reading rate of up to 50Hz. Ensure that this card is adequately supplied with power, as it requires 2.6V-3.5V for operation. Please make sure that you remove the protective sticker on the VL53L1X before use, otherwise it will certainly falsify your measured values.
The Sparkfun Qwiic connect system is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields, and cables that makes prototyping faster and less prone to errors. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 4-pin JST connector in the 1mm grid. This reduces the footprint on the circuit board and polarized connectors prevent you from connecting them incorrectly.
