VL53L0X V2 Laser Ranging Sensor Breakout (CJMCU-530) - Time of Flight I2C

The CJMCU-530V2 breakout board integrates the STMicroelectronics VL53L0X, a compact time-of-flight (ToF) ranging system. Using ST's FlightSense technology, this sensor precisely measures the time it takes for infrared laser pulses to travel to a target and reflect back, functioning as a miniature autonomous LiDAR system.

This module addresses the challenges of using the bare VL53L0X IC (leadless LGA package) by incorporating a 2.8 V linear regulator and integrated I²C level shifters. It supports a wide input voltage range of 2.6 V to 5.5 V while ensuring compatibility with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi). The 0.1" (2.54 mm) pin spacing allows for easy breadboard and perfboard prototyping.
