The SparkFun Qwiic Mini ToF Imager is a 64-pixel Time-of-Flight ranging sensor built around the STMicroelectronics VL53L5CX. It provides multizone distance measurements up to 4000 mm across a 4×4 or 8×8 grid with a 63° diagonal field of view. The compact Mini version measures just 12.7 × 25.4 mm (0.5" × 1") with vertical Qwiic connectors on the back for clean mounting.

The VL53L5CX integrates a SPAD array, infrared filters, and diffractive optical elements (DOE) for reliable ranging across varied ambient lighting conditions. ST's patented histogram algorithms enable multi-object detection within the field of view and immunity to cover glass crosstalk beyond 60 cm.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

breakout: A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
I2C: I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
I2C address: An I2C address is the number a device uses so a microcontroller can tell it apart from other devices on the same I2C bus. It matters because two devices with the same fixed address may conflict if used together.
IoT: Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
Qwiic: Qwiic is a plug-in connector system for I2C devices that uses small 4-pin cables, so you can connect compatible sensors without soldering. It matters because your controller or adapter also needs Qwiic, or you will need a cable or breakout to wire it up.
Torque: A twisting force that causes something to rotate, usually measured in newton-metres or kilogram-centimetres. It matters when choosing motors, servos, gears, and tools because higher torque is needed to lift heavier loads, turn larger wheels, or move mechanisms without stalling.
