This is the Lamblabs “Time-of-Flight” Range Finder, a breakout for the VL53L0X distance sensor. This breakout for the VL53L0X is as simple as it gets. Only the required passives are populated to give you the smallest, most cost effective way to use multiple sensors in a project with an USART or PWM interface. The Breakout has a STM32 Microcontroller to control VL53L0X with I2C interface. An output 3.3V LDO is inside. The input voltage range is from 3-5V. STM32 has program to measure the distance so that user will receive actual distance(Up to 2M)with USART. It can measure absolute distances up to 2m, setting a new benchmark in ranging performance levels, opening the door to various new applications.
Why did you make it?
Unlike most distance sensors that rely reflected light intensity or reflected angles to determine range, the VL53L0X uses a precise clock to measure the time it takes light to bounce back from a surface. This affords the ToF Range Finder and VL53L0X a great benefit over other methods because it can be much more accurate and more immune to noise.
What makes it special?
Fully integrated miniature module:940nm Laser VCSEL and driver
Ranging sensor with advanced embedded micro controller
Reported range is independent of the target reflectance
Operates in high infrared ambient light levels
Advanced embedded optical cross-talk compensation to simplify cover glass selection
Eye safe - Class 1 laser device compliant with latest standard IEC 60825-1:2014 - 3rd edition
Fast, accurate distance ranging:Measures absolute range up to 2m
STM32 Microcontroller as Main Controller to controller VL53L0X
Output distances directly with USART or PWM Interface
