940nm GY-VL53L1X 400cm Laser Ranging Sensor

GY-Series Time-of-Flight Module Architecture: Features the ST VL53L1X laser-ranging sensor engine integrated onto a GY-series breakout PCB for high-precision, non-contact distance evaluation.

Extended 4cm to 400cm Ranging Range: Uses an invisible 940 nm VCSEL laser source to measure target distances up to 4.0 meters with fast sampling rates up to 50 Hz.

Immune to Target Color and Reflectivity: Calculates spatial depth based on photon flight time rather than reflected light intensity, eliminating measurement errors caused by target surface color or smoothness.

Programmable Field of View (FoV) & ROI: Supports customizable Region of Interest (ROI) sizing through software, allowing precise optical focusing across designated spatial zones.

Standard I2C Bus Output & Level Shifting: Communicates via a standard I²C bus (400 kHz) with onboard logic shifting for seamless plug-and-play connection to 3.3V and 5.0V microcontrollers.

Housing & Board Material: High-grade FR-4 glass-epoxy PCB with surface-mount VL53L1X optical IC, low-noise power regulation, pull-up resistors, and gold-plated terminal pins.

Technical Specifications:

Operating Supply Voltage (V_CC): 3.0V - 5.0V DC.

Measurement Range: 4 cm - 400 cm (4.0 m).

Emitter Wavelength: 940 nm Invisible VCSEL.

Communication Interface: I²C (SCL, SDA) + XSHUT & GPIO1 Interrupt pins.

Color: Black PCB with Optical Sensor Module and Gold/Silver Pins.

Usage Advice: Remove any protective protective film over the optical window before operation; connect VCC (3.3V/5V), GND, SCL, and SDA to your host controller's I²C pins.

Maintenance: Handle with proper ESD safety precautions; keep optical lenses clean and free from fingerprints, solder flux, and dust by wiping gently with a dry microfiber cloth.

Essential GY-Format Laser Ranging Module: Position as a top-grade distance telemetry sensor for autonomous mobile robots, drone wall-following, smart inventory tracking, and automatic gesture detection.

Highlight GY Breakout Reliability: Emphasize how the GY-series layout provides enhanced onboard noise decoupling and level shifting, making it an ideal choice for breadboard prototyping and industrial integration.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with VL53L1X ToF Laser Ranging Sensor (4CM- 400CM, I2C), GY-53-L1X Laser Ranging VL53L1X TOF Flight Time Ranging Sensor Module, VL6180X TOF Distance Sensor (5-100MM), and ESD antistatic mat 50x40CM PCB Welding Mat.
