Great for presence detection
Works flawlessly with my STM32 project. The 64 zones make gesture recognition much smoother than single zone sensors.

Excellent multi-zone capability
The ability to distinguish multiple targets is impressive. SDK is comprehensive once you get used to it.

Solid performance
Good range and accuracy. I2C interface is easy to handle. Wish the breakout board had mounting holes slightly larger.

Reliable ranging data
Data output is consistent. Requires proper calibration for best accuracy at longer distances. Verified purchase.
Q: Is there a Python library available?
A: Yes, STMicroelectronics provides Python examples within their official SDK package.
Q: Is this compatible with Arduino Uno?
A: Yes, you can use it with Arduino Uno via I2C, though an SDK or library is recommended for zone mapping.
Q: Can it detect glass obstacles?
A: ToF sensors can struggle with transparent materials like glass, but the multi-zone processing helps mitigate some errors.
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature?
A: The sensor operates reliably between -20°C to 80°C ambient temperature.
Q: Does it work in complete darkness?
A: Yes, since it uses an invisible laser pulse, ambient light conditions do not affect performance significantly.
