The VL53L1CXV0FY/1 from STMicroelectronics is a small-form-factor Proximity Sensors Time-of-Flight ranging sensor with advanced multi-zone and multi-object detection capabilities. It enables precise and accurate measurements up to 4 meters in linear distance and 2 meters in radial (angle) distance. It provides a flexible operating mode, allowing it to measure both single objects and multiple objects in a single shot. It features a programmable indicator LED and advanced low power consumption features. It is ideal for industrial and home automation applications such as autonomous robots, occupancy sensors, intelligent lighting, and gesture recognition systems. Furthermore, it can be integrated with a wide range of development platforms, including Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Arduino, and STM32CubeMX.
