Product Description

This sensor is a carrier/breakout board for ST’s VL53L8CX laser-ranging sensor, which offers fast and accurate ranging up to 4 m through a digital I2C or SPI interface. It can measure absolute distances to multiple targets simultaneously across multiple zones, providing enough data for a depth map with up to 8×8 resolution, and has improved performance in ambient light compared to previous sensors. The board includes voltage regulators and level shifters that allow it to work over an input voltage range of 3.2 V to 5.5 V, and the 0.1″ pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards. Note: This is not recommended for use with 8-bit MCUs; for such applications, consider the VL53L1X, VL53L0X carrier, or VL6180X carrier.

The VL53L8CX from ST Microelectronics is a long-distance, ranging time-of-flight (TOF) sensor integrated into a compact module. This board is a carrier for the VL53L8CX, so we recommend careful reading of the VL53L8CX datasheet (4MB pdf) before using this product.

The VL53L8CX is effectively a tiny, self-contained lidar system featuring an integrated 940 nm Class 1 laser, which is invisible and eye-safe. Unlike conventional IR sensors that use the intensity of reflected light to estimate the distance to an object, the VL53L8CX uses ST’s FlightSense technology to precisely measure how long it takes for emitted pulses of infrared laser light to reach the objects and be reflected back to a detector. This approach ensures absolute distance measurements independent of ambient lighting conditions and target characteristics (e.g. color, shape, texture, and reflectivity), though these external conditions do affect the maximum range of the sensor.
