Fast and precise

Integration with Raspberry Pi was seamless. The sampling rate is high enough for real-time applications. Highly recommend for anyone needing precise distance data without the bulk of LiDAR systems.

Perfect for robotics projects

This sensor is incredibly accurate for short-range detection. I used it on my line-following robot to detect obstacles, and the response time is excellent. The I2C interface made integration with my Arduino very straightforward.

Great value, minor setup quirks

Works as advertised. Had to install a specific library to get it running on my ESP32, but once configured, the distance readings are stable. Just ensure your logic levels match since it runs on 3.3V.

Good for proximity sensing

Using this to trigger lights when someone approaches the desk. It's much better than ultrasonic sensors because of the narrow beam angle. Deducted one star because the range drops significantly on dark surfaces.

Compact and reliable

The small form factor is a huge plus for my custom drone build. It handles ambient light well indoors. I haven't tested it in direct sunlight yet, but for indoor navigation, it's flawless.

Excellent for learning ToF technology

Bought this for a university project. The documentation provided by the community is vast, making it easy to understand how Time of Flight works. Measurements are consistent up to the 2-meter limit.

5 FAQ

Q: Does it work accurately on black or reflective surfaces?

A: Performance can vary. Very dark surfaces absorb more light, reducing range, while highly reflective surfaces might cause slight inaccuracies. Calibration is recommended for critical applications.

Q: Is there a protective cover included for the lens?

A: No, the module comes as an open breakout board. We recommend designing a custom 3D printed case or housing if the sensor will be used in dusty environments.

Q: Can multiple sensors be used on the same I2C bus?

A: Yes, but each sensor needs a unique I2C address. You will need to change the default address of secondary sensors using the manufacturer's API before connecting them to the same bus.

Q: Is this module compatible with 5V Arduino boards?

A: Yes, but you must use a logic level converter since the sensor operates at 3.3V. Connecting it directly to 5V pins may damage the module.

Q: What is the maximum refresh rate of this sensor?

A: The sensor can typically perform measurements at rates up to 60 Hz, depending on the timing budget configuration you set in your code.
