Description

The Holybro VL53L1X Lidar module integrates STMicroelectronics’ advanced FlightSenseâ„¢ Time-of-Flight technology, utilizing a 940nm VCSEL laser emitter and SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) receiver array. This MEMS-based system measures the time for emitted light pulses to reflect off a target, enabling sub-centimeter accuracy across its full 4-meter range. The sensor features intelligent signal conditioning to minimize ambient light interference and crosstalk.

Operating from a 3.3V to 5V DC supply, the module communicates via a standard I2C interface, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers and single-board computers. Its programmable region-of-interest allows the host system to dynamically adjust the sensing field-of-view and implement multi-zone detection schemes, optimizing performance for specific application geometries.

Key Features

  • ST VL53L1X FlightSenseâ„¢ ToF sensor with up to 4m measurement range.
  • High-speed I2C communication with up to 50 Hz sampling rate.
  • 27° full field-of-view with programmable ROI size and position.
  • Pin-to-pin compatible with the earlier VL53L0X sensor for easy upgrades.
  • Robust 940nm VCSEL laser emitter with SPAD array receiver.
  • Compact, surface-mount module design with integrated protective lens.
  • Includes a durable TPU protective case for mechanical and environmental shielding.
  • Pre-installed 200mm GH4P cable simplifies connection to host controller.

Applications

  • Robotics obstacle avoidance and navigation for autonomous ground vehicles.
  • Drone altitude hold and terrain-following systems in UAV platforms.
  • Industrial machine safety guarding and personnel detection.
  • Gesture recognition and touchless control interfaces in consumer electronics.
  • Precision level sensing and bin filling in automated material handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the Holybro VL53L1X module?

The module operates from a 3.3V to 5V DC power supply. It is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic levels on the I2C communication lines, making it suitable for direct connection to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and most other 3.3V/5V microcontroller platforms without requiring level shifters.

How do I communicate with the VL53L1X sensor and what is the maximum data rate?

Communication is via a standard I2C interface. The sensor's I2C address is configurable, and it supports a maximum ranging frequency of up to 50 Hz, providing real-time distance data. You will need to use the official ST API libraries or community-developed drivers to configure the ROI and read measurements from the sensor registers.

What does the programmable Region-of-Interest (ROI) feature allow me to do?

The ROI feature allows you to programmatically define a smaller sensing window within the sensor's full 27° field of view. You can adjust both the size and position of this active zone. This enables multi-zone operation from a single sensor, helps ignore background objects, and can improve response time and power efficiency by processing data from a smaller area.

Is this module compatible with the older VL53L0X sensor?

Yes, the Holybro VL53L1X module is pin-to-pin compatible with the VL53L0X, allowing for a direct hardware upgrade. However, the firmware and software libraries are different due to the enhanced features and longer range of the VL53L1X. You will need to update your code to use the specific VL53L1X driver and API.
