Lightweight and reliable

Weight is crucial for my drone altitude hold feature. This sensor is incredibly light and provides fast updates. The 400F range is exactly what I needed.

Great value for money

Bought a batch for our university lab. Students find them easy to wire up via serial. No failures so far after three months of heavy use.

Solid performance

Works well for obstacle avoidance. The response time is quick enough for slow-moving robots. Just ensure you provide a clean 3.3V supply for best results.

Good accuracy, compact size

We used the 200F model for a conveyor belt monitoring system. It fits perfectly in tight spaces. The only minor issue is the documentation could be more detailed for advanced configurations.

Perfect for my robotics project

The IIC interface made integration with my Arduino extremely simple. The readings are stable and consistent even in varying light conditions. Highly recommended for hobbyists.

Exceeded expectations

I was worried about interference from sunlight, but the TOF technology handles it surprisingly well outdoors. The build quality feels robust.

5 FAQ

Q: Is there a library available for ESP32?

A: Yes, there are several open-source libraries available on GitHub compatible with ESP32 for both Serial and IIC communication protocols for this sensor series.

Q: What is the difference between the 'C' and 'F' models?

A: The 'C' models typically come with a standard connector cable, while the 'F' models feature a flexible flat cable (FFC) connector for easier integration into slim devices.

Q: What happens if the object is beyond the maximum range?

A: If the target is out of range, the module will return a specific error code or a maximum value indicator depending on the communication protocol settings, allowing your code to handle the exception.

Q: Does this module work directly with Raspberry Pi GPIO?

A: Yes, the module supports IIC which is compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins. Please ensure you enable the I2C interface in your Pi configuration and match the voltage levels (3.3V).

Q: Can this measure through glass?

A: Time-of-Flight sensors generally struggle measuring through transparent materials like clear glass as the laser may pass through or reflect unpredictably. It works best on opaque surfaces.
