Product description
This sensor measures distance by beaming low powered infrared lasers at a target (pew pew pew). It has great accuracy and sampling frequency (up to 60 Hz) and a large range of detection (from 2cm to 4 metres).
What's especially exciting about this sensor (after the lasers) is that it can return an 8x8 grid of readings as an array. This means you could detect movement coming from a specific direction (for smart security systems) or mount it on your robot for object tracking or superior collision avoidance without the need for lots of separate sensors.
It's compatible with our fancy Breakout Garden system, where using breakouts is easy as popping it into one of the slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code. It's also Qw/ST compatible so it can be plugged into a whole range of different microcontrollers and HATs with Qwiic or STEMMA QT connectors.
* VL53L5CX Time of Flight (ToF) sensor
* 8x8 multizone ranging
* Wide field of view (63° diagonal)
* 2-400cm range
* Up to 60Hz ranging frequency
* I2C interface, with address: 0x52
* 3-6V compatible
* Reverse polarity protection (on Breakout Garden connector)
* Compatible with Raspberry Pi (Python library)
* Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico (C+
+/MicroPython libraries)
