Fast and Precise

Great for obstacle avoidance. The measurement frequency is high enough for my drone project. Very happy with the performance.

Needs level shifter

Works well but remember it's 3.3V logic. If you connect directly to 5V Arduino without a level shifter, you might risk damage. Instructions could be clearer.

Good but sensitive to light

Accurate indoors, struggles in direct sunlight as expected for ToF sensors. Otherwise, the build quality is solid and wiring was straightforward.

Excellent Value

Cheaper than competitors with the same performance. I bought five for a multi-sensor array and they all work consistently.

5 FAQ

Q: Is this suitable for outdoor use?

A: It is not recommended for use in direct sunlight as ambient light can interfere with the infrared laser measurements.

Q: What is the maximum reliable range?

A: The sensor is optimized for ranges up to 2 meters. Beyond this, accuracy may decrease depending on target reflectivity.

Q: Is this module 5V tolerant?

A: No, the operating voltage is 2.6V to 3.5V. Please use a logic level shifter when connecting to 5V microcontrollers.

Q: Are there libraries available for Arduino?

A: Yes, there are several open-source libraries available, including those from Pololu and Adafruit, to simplify integration.

Q: Can I use multiple sensors on one I2C bus?

A: Yes, multiple sensors can be used by controlling the XSHUT pin to disable them individually during address configuration.
