It is ideal for obstacle avoidance, gesture recognition, and robotic navigation. The sensor’s compact design and I2C interface make it easy to integrate with popular microcontrollers and single-board computers.\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\u003eMeasurement Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 cm to 400 cm\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\u003eField of View\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupply Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.6 V – 3.5 V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI2C (up to 400 kHz)\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\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/arduino-obstacle-avoidance-robot-kit-build-and-code-autonomous-car\"\u003eAutonomous robot obstacle avoidance system\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTouchless gesture-controlled light switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLiquid level monitoring in tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrone precision altitude hold and terrain following\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VL53L1X operates at 3.3V logic but is 5V tolerant on I2C pins, making it safe for direct connection to Arduino Uno, Mega, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and STM32 boards. It’s frequently used with motor drivers and servos in robotic applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect VIN to 3.3V, GND to ground, SDA to A4 (or ESP32 GPIO 21), and SCL to A5 (or ESP32 GPIO 22). The breakout board includes built-in 4.7kΩ pull-up resistors on I2C lines, so no external pull-ups are needed. Default I2C address is 0x29, configurable to 0x30.\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 Uno?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the VL53L1X works with Arduino Uno over I2C. Use the SparkFun VL53L1X library for easy integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan it measure through glass?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sensor uses 940nm laser light which can pass through glass, but reflections may affect accuracy. For best results, use clean, thin glass perpendicular to the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the maximum sample rate?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn short-range mode, the sensor can achieve up to 50 Hz sample rate. Long-range mode is slower, typically 10–20 Hz, depending on ambient light conditions.\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.
