Description

The GY-530 module integrates STMicroelectronics’ VL53L0X sensor, which uses Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser ranging technology. It emits an invisible laser pulse and measures the time for the reflection to return, providing accurate distance data independent of target reflectance. The module includes the necessary voltage regulation and pull-up resistors for the I2C bus.

Designed for low-power embedded systems, it operates from 2.8V to 5V DC, making it suitable for battery-powered IoT devices. The unsoldered header pins offer flexibility for vertical or horizontal mounting in tight spaces. Its compact size and digital output simplify integration into drones, robots, and smart appliances.

Key Features

  • High-precision VL53L0X ToF sensor from STMicroelectronics.
  • Fast and accurate distance measurement up to 2m range.
  • Low operating voltage range (2.8V to 5V) for broad compatibility.
  • Ultra-compact PCB design with a distinctive purple solder mask.
  • Unsoldered male header pins included for custom installation.
  • Simple I2C digital interface with 7-bit address selection.
  • Integrated optical system for reliable performance in various ambient light conditions.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for prototyping and volume integration.

Applications

  • Robotic obstacle avoidance and cliff detection for autonomous platforms.
  • Gesture recognition and presence detection in smart appliances and dispensers.
  • Precision altitude hold and landing assistance for drones and UAVs.
  • Object proximity sensing in IoT devices and industrial automation.
  • Touchless interface development for public or medical equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the GY-530 VL53L0X module?

The module is designed to operate from 2.8V to 5V DC. This wide range makes it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 without requiring a logic level shifter.

How do I connect and communicate with this sensor module?

The module uses a standard I2C interface. Connect the VCC, GND, SDA, and SCL pins to your microcontroller. The default I2C address for the VL53L0X is 0x29. The unsoldered headers allow you to choose your preferred connection method.

What is the maximum measurable distance?

The VL53L0X sensor can accurately measure distances up to approximately 2 meters in optimal conditions. Performance can be affected by target reflectance and ambient light. For best results, refer to the sensor's ranging profiles configurable via I2C.

Are the header pins pre-soldered on the module?

No, this version is supplied with unsoldered male header pins. This allows you to solder them in the orientation (vertical or right-angle) that best suits your project's spatial constraints and assembly process.
