Bought ten for our student team
All units worked out of the box. We are using them for line-following robots with advanced collision detection. The consistency between units is impressive.

Compact and reliable
The form factor is tiny, making it easy to fit into tight spaces. I'm using it for a gesture control interface, and the response time is fast enough for smooth interactions.

Solid performance for indoor use
Very happy with the purchase. Note that performance drops slightly with dark or absorbent surfaces, which is expected for laser sensors. Works flawlessly on standard walls and objects.

Perfect for my robotics project
This sensor is incredibly accurate for short-range detection. I used it on a small rover for obstacle avoidance, and the I2C integration with Arduino was seamless. The library support is excellent.

Great value, minor setup learning curve
Works exactly as described. It took me a little while to calibrate the timing budget for maximum range, but once configured, it performs very well even in ambient light.

Best ToF sensor in this price range
I've tested several ranging modules, and this VL53L0X V2 offers the best balance of precision and cost. The data sheet is clear, and the module arrived well-packaged.
Q: Is this module compatible with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, the GY-530 module uses the I2C protocol, which is fully supported by Raspberry Pi GPIO pins. You will need to enable I2C in the raspi-config settings.
Q: Do you provide sample code for ESP32?
A: Yes, we provide links to popular open-source libraries like Adafruit_VL53L0X which have extensive examples for ESP32, Arduino, and STM32 platforms.
Q: Can this detect transparent glass?
A: Detecting transparent materials like clear glass can be challenging for ToF sensors as the laser may pass through. It works best on opaque surfaces.
Q: Does this work outdoors in direct sunlight?
A: While the 940nm filter helps, direct strong sunlight can interfere with the signal. It is primarily designed for indoor use or shaded outdoor environments.
Q: What is the maximum refresh rate of this sensor?
A: The refresh rate depends on your timing budget configuration. Typically, it can operate between 30 Hz and 60 Hz for standard ranging tasks.
