Product description: VL53L4CX time-of-flight - distance sensor - STEMMA QT / Qwiic I2C - Adafruit 5425
The Adafruit module is equipped with the VL53L4CX time-of-flight distance sensor, which allows you to measure distances in the range from 1 mm to 6000 mm with the precision of LIDAR sensors. The time-of-flight method is based on measuring the time from the emission of a pulse from the infrared laser to its return to the detector. It is independent of the reflection of light from the object. On the board you can find two Qwiic / STEMMA QT connectors for a seamless connection with the I2C interface of a microcontroller with the same connector. The module works with a logic voltage of 3.3 V and 5 V, supplied with the voltage from 3 V to 5 V.
Distance sensor VL53L4CX.Pins of the module with the sensor VL53L4CX
The module with the VL53L4CX sensor for communication with the microcontroller uses the I2C interface. The board is equipped with two Qwiic / STEMMA QT connectors for easy connection with the module with the same connector. The outputs of the board are:
- VIN - module power pin from 3 V to 5 V.
- GND - the ground of the system.
- SCL - clock line of the I2C interface.
- SDA - data line of the I2C interface.
- GPIO - interrupt pin with 2.8 V output, can be read by 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers.
- XSHUT - disable pin, activated by a low state, can be used with 3V and 5V logic.
