VL53L1X ToF Laser Ranging Sensor (4CM- 400CM, I2C)

Second-Generation FlightSense ToF Technology: Powered by STMicroelectronics' VL53L1X Time-of-Flight engine with a 940 nm VCSEL emitter, delivering pin-point distance telemetry independent of target color or surface reflectivity.

Extended 4cm to 400cm Measurement Range: Measures distances accurately up to 4.0 meters with fast sampling frequencies up to 50 Hz.

Programmable Region of Interest (ROI): Allows configuration of custom receiving Field of View (FoV) array sizes directly via software to target specific spatial zones.

Standard I2C Digital Interface: Communicates seamlessly via an I²C bus (400 kHz) with programmable slave addresses for multi-sensor array mapping.

Onboard Voltage Level Shifting & Regulation: Features onboard voltage translation and low-dropout regulation for direct plug-and-play compatibility with 3.3V and 5.0V microcontrollers.

Housing & Board Material: High-grade FR-4 glass-epoxy PCB with surface-mount VL53L1X optical sensor IC, level-shifting FETs, pull-up resistors, and gold-plated header pins.

Technical Specifications:

Operating Supply Voltage (V_CC): 2.8V - 5.5V DC.

Distance 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: Red PCB with Black Optical Sensor Enclosure and Gold/Silver Pins.

Usage Advice: Remove any protective protective optical film before use; power with 3.3V or 5V, and connect SCL/SDA pins to your host processor's I²C bus.

Maintenance: Keep optical aperture windows free of finger grease, dust, and solder flux; wipe optical surfaces gently using a clean, dry microfiber lens cloth.

Essential Long-Range Optical Ranging Sensor: Position as a top-grade laser ranging sensor for autonomous mobile robots, obstacle avoidance chassis, wall-following drones, and smart inventory height monitoring.

Highlight True Time-of-Flight Accuracy: Emphasize how true 940 nm Time-of-Flight photon timing completely eliminates target surface color and ambient reflection error associated with standard optical IR proximity detectors.
