DESCRIPTION
An all-singing, all-dancing time of flight distance sensor that uses PEW PEW LASERS (low-powered ones), this VL53L1X breakout is easy to use with Raspberry Pi or Arduino alike!
These low-power-laser-based time of flight sensors have great accuracy and sampling frequency and this particular sensor have a wide range of detection, from 4cm to 4 metres.
Use it as a proximity sensor, for presence detection or as a laser tape measure! The speed, accuracy and range make this sensor ideal for collision-avoidance on robots.
