The VL53L0X Time-of-Flight (ToF) Laser Ranging Sensor is an advanced distance sensor module that provides highly accurate distance measurements using infrared laser technology. With a range of up to 2 meters, this compact and versatile sensor is perfect for proximity detection, obstacle avoidance, and precise ranging in robotics, drones, IoT devices, and more.
Designed for easy integration, the GY-530 module operates over a wide voltage range of 3-5V and communicates using the I2C protocol, making it simple to connect to a variety of microcontrollers. With its compact form factor and powerful laser-based ranging, the VL53L0X is ideal for applications where accuracy and reliability are critical.
Features:
  • High Precision: Accurate distance measurements using embedded infrared and eye-safe laser technology.
  • Long Range Detection: Measures distances up to 2 meters.
  • Versatile Applications: Ideal for obstacle avoidance, proximity detection, user presence monitoring, and more.
  • Compact Size: Easy to integrate into a wide range of projects with limited space.
  • Simple to Use: I2C communication for easy connectivity with microcontrollers.

Specifications:
  • Operating Voltage: 3-5V
  • Communication: I2C (IIC)
  • Measurement Range: Up to 2 meters
  • Module Size: 25mm x 12mm x 3mm (0.98" x 0.47" x 0.11")
  • GPIO/Xshutdown Pin: For power control and configuration

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

GPIO
General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
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.
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.
