Good range, easy to integrate
I used the VL53L1 version for obstacle avoidance on a custom drone. It reaches the advertised 4 meters reliably. Setup took only about 15 minutes.

Fast shipping and works as described
Arrived well-packaged. Connected it to my Raspberry Pi immediately and got accurate readings. No calibration headaches.

Great for learning embedded systems
Documentation could be slightly more detailed for absolute beginners, but there are plenty of online examples. The hardware quality feels solid.

Perfect for my robotics project
This sensor works flawlessly with my Arduino setup. The serial communication is stable and the distance readings are consistent even in varying light conditions.

Reliable industrial prototype component
We tested these for a conveyor belt counting system. The response time is fast enough for our needs and the form factor fits perfectly in our enclosure.
Q: Does the package include connecting wires?
A: The standard package includes the sensor module only. Connecting wires or header pins need to be purchased separately or sourced from your existing inventory.
Q: Is this sensor compatible with 5V logic levels directly?
A: Yes, the module supports an operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5.0V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers without level shifters.
Q: What is the difference between the VL53L0X and VL53L1X versions?
A: The primary difference is the maximum ranging distance. The VL53L0X reaches up to 2 meters, while the VL53L1X extends that range to approximately 4 meters with improved performance in ambient light.
Q: What protocol does the serial port use?
A: The sensor communicates via standard UART (TTL Serial). You simply need to connect TX, RX, VCC, and GND to your host controller.
Q: Can this be used outdoors in direct sunlight?
A: While the ToF technology is robust, direct intense sunlight can interfere with infrared sensors. For best results outdoors, we recommend shielding the sensor or using it in shaded areas.
