Good accuracy, limited range
Great sensor but remember it's only for short range. Don't expect meters. Build quality is solid.

Excellent ToF module
Much better than IR sensors for proximity. Not affected by object color. Highly recommended.

Needs careful wiring
Sensor works great but voltage levels need attention. Use a logic level converter if needed.
5 FAQ
Q: Is a library available for Arduino?
A: Yes, several open-source libraries are available on GitHub for easy integration.
Q: What is the power consumption?
A: Typical consumption is low, suitable for battery-powered applications around 2.8V.
Q: What is the maximum range?
A: The optimal range is up to 200mm, performance degrades beyond that.
Q: Can it measure through glass?
A: No, ToF sensors generally cannot measure distance through transparent materials like glass.
Q: Does this work with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, it supports I2C which is compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO.
