VL6180 VL53L0X VL53L1X ToF Laser Ranging Sensor Module I2C for Arduino STM32

Overview

Add precise distance measurement to your next build with this Time of Flight (ToF) laser ranging sensor module. Using the well-known VL6180, VL53L0X or VL53L1X sensor family, this compact board measures distance by timing how long laser light takes to bounce back from a target, giving fast and reliable readings without contact.

It speaks over a simple I2C interface, so wiring it to an Arduino, STM32 or other microcontroller takes only a few minutes. Whether you are building an obstacle-avoiding robot, a gesture detector, a level monitor or an interactive installation, this module gives you a clean digital distance signal in a small package.

Several versions are offered, from short-range 50 cm sensing up to long-range 4 m sensing, plus optional cover plates. Pick the option that matches your project from the drop-down menu.
