VL53L0X Time of Flight ToF Laser Ranging Sensor 940nm CJVL53L0XV2 Laser Distance IIC i2c sensor For Arduino
The VL53L0X from ST Microelectronics is a time-of-flight ranging system integrated into a compact module. This board is a carrier for the VL53L0X, so we recommend careful reading of the VL53L0X datasheet (1MB pdf) before using this product.
Ranging measurements are available through the sensor’s I²C (TWI) interface, which is also used to configure sensor settings, and
the sensor provides two additional pins: a shutdown input and an interrupt output.
The VL53L0X time-of-flight ranging sensor is a new generation of laser ranging modules.
The VL53LOX is a fully integrated sensor with embedded infrared, eye-safe lasers, advanced filters, and an ultra-high-speed photon detection array, enabling longer measurement distances with higher speed and accuracy.
The VL53L0X's sensing capabilities can support a variety of functions, including gesture sensing or proximity detection for various innovative user interfaces, obstacle detection and collision avoidance systems for sweeping robots and service robots, user presence detection or power switch monitors for home appliance sensing panels and laptops, as well as drones and Internet of Things (IoT) products.

PIN Description:
VDD Regulated 2.8 V output. Almost 150 mA is available to power external components. (If you want to bypass the internal regulator, you can instead use this pin as a 2.8 V input with VIN disconnected.)
VIN This is the main 2.6 V to 5.5 V power supply connection. The SCL and SDA level shifters pull the I2C lines high to this level.
GND The ground (0 V) connection for your power supply. Your I2C control source must also share a common ground with this board.
SDA Level-shifted I²C data line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V
SCL Level-shifted I²C clock line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V
XSHUT This pin is an active-low shutdown input; the board pulls it up to VDD to enable the sensor by default. Driving this pin low puts the sensor into hardware standby. This input is not level-shifted.
