Sunlight issues
Works indoors perfectly. Outdoors in direct sun it fails mostly due to interference.

Good but range varies
Great sensor but struggles on dark surfaces. Otherwise solid for the price point.

Perfect for obstacle avoidance
Works flawlessly with my Arduino rover. Easy to library integrate and readings are consistent indoors.

Reliable ToF module
Much better than ultrasonic for precision. Fast response time and compact size.

Great value
Cheap and effective for short range mapping projects. Shipping was fast too.
Q: Can I connect multiple sensors?
A: Yes, using GPIO pins to control shutdown pins for each module individually.
Q: Does it work in the dark?
A: Yes, it uses its own laser emitter, so ambient light is not required for operation.
Q: Can I use this with 5V Arduino?
A: The sensor is 3.3V. Use a logic level converter for 5V boards to ensure safety.
Q: Which library do you recommend?
A: Pololu or Adafruit VL53L0X libraries are widely supported and easy to use.
Q: What is the actual max range?
A: Up to 2 meters on reflective targets. Dark objects reduce range significantly.
