• Serial Port PWM Output VL53L0X+stm32
• Direct output distance data
• Easier to connect with other MCU and computer
• Power supply: 3-5v (low dropout voltage regulator)
• Range: 2 meters (dark, long distance mode)

Description:

The VL53L0X is a time-of-flight ranging system integrated into a compact module.The VL53L0X is a tiny, self-contained lidar system which uses ST’s FlightSense technology to precisely measure how long it takes for emitted pulses of infrared laser light to reach the nearest object and be reflected back to a detector. This time-of-flight (TOF) measurement enables it to accurately determine the absolute distance to a target without the object’s reflectance greatly influencing the measurement.

Range measurements are available through the sensor’s I2C (TWI) interface, which is also used to configure sensor settings, and the sensor provides two additional pins: a shutdown input and an interrupt output.

Features:

• The sensor can report distances of up to 2 m (6.6 ft) with 1 mm resolution, but its effective range and accuracy (noise) depend heavily on ambient conditions and target characteristics like reflectance and size, as well as the sensor configuration. (The sensor’s accuracy is specified to range from ±3% at best to over ±10% in less optimal conditions.)
• Serial port and PWM to read the data code: STM32, Arduino, 51 MCU.
• Note that due to the infrared will be affected by the outside light, in the light will affect the maximum range of measurement, will not affect the measurement accuracy.
• Default configuration: serial baud rate 9600, automatic output, high precision mode.
• When using, please remove the sensor film.
