Product description: Mini ToF-90° - distance sensor - 3 - 200 cm - VL53L0CXV0DH - Unit expansion module - M5Stack U196
The Mini ToF-90° is an ultra-compact Time of Flight (ToF) distance measurement module equipped with a precision VL53L0X sensor. By rotating the laser module 90° , detection occurs horizontally , enabling applications requiring forward measurement, such as mobile robotics or obstacle avoidance systems. The module measures distances from 3 cm to 200 cm with an accuracy of ±3% and a resolution of 1 mm . Its viewing angle is 25°, and its response time is less than 30 ms. Its I2C interface allows for easy integration with popular development platforms.
Mini ToF-90° - distance measurement module - M5Stack. 
Mini ToF-90° is an ultra-compact Time of Flight (ToF) distance measurement module.Special features
- Measurement range - detection distance from 3 cm to 200 cm, ideal for close-range applications
- Compact dimensions - small size of 24 x 24 x 8 mm makes it easy to integrate in tight spaces
- 90° optics - directed horizontally, enables "forward" detection, e.g. in mobile robotics
- Class 1 ToF laser - safe for eyesight, uses an invisible beam with a wavelength of 940 nm
- Fast measurement time - response time below 30 ms ensures dynamic detection in real time
- Communication via I2C - easy integration with microcontrollers thanks to the standard address 0x52
- Software compatibility - support for Arduino IDE, UiFlow1 and UiFlow2 makes programming easier
