SparkFun VL53L1X ToF Distance Sensor Breakout - 4-Meter Range, Qwiic & I2C
The SparkFun VL53L1X breakout is a high-precision Time-of-Flight (ToF) distance sensor module compatible with 3.3V systems like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32. It provides accurate laser-based ranging from 40 mm up to 4 meters via I2C and the solderless Qwiic Connect System.
Features
- VL53L1X laser ToF sensor with ±1 mm resolution and up to 4-meter range.
- Operates at 2.6V to 3.5V with I2C/Qwiic interface for easy microcontroller integration.
- Features a programmable 15° to 27° field of view and a Class 1 940 nm VCSEL light source.
- Supports fast measurement rates up to 50 Hz for real-time distance monitoring.
- Compact breakout design with 0.1″ pins and Qwiic connector for solder-free prototyping.

The SparkFun SEN-14722 breakout integrates STMicroelectronics’ VL53L1X, a state-of-the-art Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor. It uses a 940 nm Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) to emit infrared light and a SPAD (Single-Photon Avalanche Diode) array to detect the reflected photons. By precisely measuring the time-of-flight of the light pulse, it calculates distance with high accuracy, independent of target color and surface texture.
The sensor’s signal conditioning and histogram processing are handled internally, providing stable, calibrated distance readings via I2C communication. The module is designed for 3.3V logic systems and includes level shifting for safe operation with 5V microcontrollers. Its compact form factor and dual connectivity options (Qwiic and standard headers) make it ideal for integration into space-constrained robotic and automation projects.
