It provides accurate, non-contact distance measurements up to 2 meters, making it ideal for obstacle avoidance, gesture detection, and short-range positioning. The I2C interface and compact breakout board allow easy integration into microcontroller projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.3V – 5V DC (on-board regulator)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMeasuring Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 mm to 2000 mm (in dark), 30 mm to 1000 mm (ambient light)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±5% (typical, \u0026gt;80% reflectivity)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI2C (address 0x29, configurable via XSHUT)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLaser Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass 1 (eye-safe, 940 nm VCSEL)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCollision avoidance system for small robots or rovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLiquid level monitoring in tanks or containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGesture-based control interface (wave to trigger)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrone altitude hold and terrain following\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks with any 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller that supports I2C, including Arduino Uno\/Nano\/Mega, ESP8266\/ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and STM32 boards. Pair with motor drivers for autonomous robots or servo controllers for pan-tilt systems. Standard I2C pull-up resistors (typically 4.7 kΩ) are required if not already present on the bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect VCC to 3.3 V or 5 V, GND to common ground, SDA to I2C data, and SCL to I2C clock. The XSHUT pin can be pulled LOW to disable the sensor or used with multiple sensors to assign unique I2C addresses. Keep wiring short and avoid high-current paths to prevent noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Arduino?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it uses I2C and works with both 3.3 V and 5 V Arduino boards. Libraries like Adafruit_VL53L0X make reading distance straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow accurate is the sensor?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder typical indoor conditions with good reflectivity, accuracy is within ±5%. For precision tasks, ensure stable lighting and target surface reflectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I measure distance through glass or transparent materials?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the sensor's laser reflects off the first surface it hits, causing inaccurate readings. Use it only in open air or with non-reflective targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compoden-handoff\" style=\"margin-top:24px;padding:16px;background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #2B4D8F;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#1A3560;\"\u003e📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;color:#333;\"\u003eEvery Compoden order includes a free setup handoff document — step-by-step instructions to get your component working within minutes.
