Product description: Fermion - distance sensor from 2,5 to 300 cm - ToF VL53L3CX - DFRobot SEN0378
A distance sensormade withToF Time-of-Flighttechnology with integratedVL53L3CXchip from STMicroelectronics. It uses ST's third-generation FlightSense technology in its measurement path, which makes the accuracy of object detection and distance to the object extremelyprecise. The sensor offers a measurement range of2.5 cm to 300 cm, and is additionally resistant to glass penetration. It has a viewing angle of25°.
