VL53L0X V2 Laser Distance Sensor I2C Time-of-Flight Breakout CJMCU-530

The CJMCU-530 module integrates the STMicroelectronics VL53L0X, a compact Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging system. Using ST's FlightSense technology, this micro-LiDAR sensor emits invisible infrared laser pulses and measures the time required for them to reflect off an object and return, calculating distance with high precision.

This breakout board solves the common difficulties of using the bare VL53L0X IC by integrating a voltage regulator (allowing 2.8 V operation from a 3.3 V or 5 V supply) and level shifting for I²C communication. It is ideal for projects requiring precise non-contact distance measurements, such as robot obstacle avoidance, height detection, or gesture-based user interfaces.
