Pimoroni VL53L1X Time of Flight (ToF) Distance Sensor Module - I2C Interface
The Pimoroni VL53L1X is a high-performance Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging sensor module, providing accurate distance measurements up to 4 meters via a fast I2C interface. This breakout board is designed for easy integration with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and STM32 for robotics, drones, and automation applications.
Features
- Long-range laser ToF sensor with up to 400 cm (4 m) measurement capability.
- Fast 50 Hz ranging frequency for real-time obstacle detection and tracking.
- 940 nm invisible Class 1 laser emitter ensures eye safety and ambient light immunity.
- Standard I2C interface (up to 1 MHz) for simple connection to 3.3V logic systems.
- Programmable Region of Interest (ROI) for flexible field-of-view control.

The VL53L1X sensor utilizes STMicroelectronics’ latest FlightSenseâ„¢ ToF technology, integrating a SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) receiving array, a 940 nm VCSEL laser emitter, and advanced optics into a single miniature module. This technology enables absolute distance measurement independent of target color and reflectance, providing superior performance compared to conventional infrared sensors.
Housed on a compact breakout board by Pimoroni, the module operates from a single 2.8V supply (2.6V to 3.5V range) and features shutdown and interrupt pins for power management. Its robust design allows it to be mounted behind various cover window materials, making it suitable for integration into finished products requiring reliable, long-distance proximity sensing.
