Description:
The VL53L0X is a new generation Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging module, providing accurate distance measurement. It can measure absolute distances up to 2m (6.6 ft) with a 1mm resolution.
Ranging measurements are available through the sensor's I2C (TWI) interface, which is also used to configure the sensor settings. The module has 2 additional pins, shutdown input and an interrupt output.
Specifications:
Operating voltage: 2.6V – 5.5V
Active sensor current: 19mA
Interface: I2C
940nm laser VCSEL, VCSEL driver, ranging sensor with advanced embedded micro controller
Measures absolute range up to 2 meters
Dimensions: 13mm x 11mm
Pin Specifications:
VDD: Regulated 2.8 V output. Almost 150 mA is available to power external components. (If you want to bypass the internal regulator, you can instead use this pin as a 2.8 V input with VIN disconnected.)
VIN: This is the main 2.6 V to 5.5 V power supply connection. The SCL and SDA level shifters pull the I2C lines high to this level.
GND: The ground (0 V) connection for your power supply. Your I2C control source must also share a common ground with this board.
SDA: Level-shifted I2C data line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V
SCL: Level-shifted I2C clock line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V
XSHUT: This pin is an active-low shutdown input, the board pulls it up to VDD to enable the sensor by default. Driving this pin low puts the sensor into hardware standby. This input is not level-shifted.
