PRODUCT DETAILS

Description

ToF (Time of Flight) Unit is a laser ranging unit that integrates the VL53L0X laser ranging module. It calculates the distance between the emitting point and the detected object by measuring the round-trip time of the laser signal. Unlike traditional ranging methods, ToF provides accurate distance measurement regardless of the reflectivity of the target.

By emitting a laser with a wavelength of 940nm, ToF can measure absolute distances of up to 2m in less than 30ms. This unit offers precise distance measurement data, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where accurate ranging is essential.

This unit communicates with M5Core via I2C(0x29).

  • In this case, make sure you use the 3.3V on SDA and SCL, M5Core GROVE provide 3.3V to data pins, 5V to power pin. only 3.3v allowed on VL53L0x.

    Easy to set up!

    This is another M5 unit that's compact and easy to set up. It comes with an example program for the Arduino IDE, and physical setup is simply plugging a Grove cable in!
    There's othe libraries on github that show how to do constant ranging, accurate Vs fast, and so on... Great little unit!
