Perfect for my robotics project
The IIC interface made integration with my Arduino extremely simple. The readings are stable and the range is exactly as advertised for the 200F model.

Great documentation support
The module works great. The datasheet provided by the seller was clear, making it easy to write the driver in Python for Raspberry Pi.

Good value, fast shipping
Works well for altitude hold on small drones. Had to tweak the code slightly for the specific baud rate, but once configured, it performs reliably.

Reliable industrial sensor
We tested the 400F model for tank level monitoring. It handles ambient light changes better than ultrasonic sensors we previously used.

Consistent performance
Bought five units for a prototype array. All five performed identically with no calibration drift over two weeks of continuous testing.

Compact and accurate
Very small form factor which saved space on my PCB. Accuracy is impressive for the price point. Highly recommend for DIY projects.
Q: What happens if the target is beyond the maximum range?
A: The sensor will return a specific error code or a maximum range value indicating 'out of range,' depending on the configuration settings you apply via serial command.
Q: Does this module work directly with 5V logic without a level shifter?
A: Yes, the module supports 3.3V to 5.0V input voltage, so it can interface directly with 5V microcontrollers like standard Arduino boards.
Q: Is there a library available for ESP32?
A: Yes, there are several open-source libraries available on GitHub compatible with ESP32 that support UART and IIC communication for this sensor series.
Q: What is the difference between the 'C' and 'F' versions in the model name?
A: The 'C' typically denotes the version with a casing included, while 'F' often refers to the flexible cable or bare board version, though specifications may vary by batch. Please check the specific item title.
Q: Can this measure through glass?
A: Laser ToF sensors generally struggle with transparent materials like clear glass as the beam may pass through or reflect unpredictably. It is best used on opaque surfaces.
